Lottery windfall comes at just the right time for these neighbours near Bedford

Three people in Kempston were celebrating after winning £1,000 each thanks to their lucky postcode.

The neighbours netted the windfall when MK42 7JR was announced as a daily prize winner with People’s Postcode Lottery.

And it couldn't come at a better time as many of us have lost our jobs, been furloughed and face being short of cash during the coronavirus outbreak.

People’s Postcode Lottery ambassador Judie McCourt said: “What fantastic news to top off your weekend. Congratulations to our winners, I hope they have fun spending their winnings.”

A minimum of 32 per cent of ticket sales goes directly to charities and players of People’s Postcode Lottery have raised more than £600million to date for thousands of good causes in Britain and beyond.

This draw was promoted on behalf of Canal & River Trust which cares for and brings to life 2,000 miles of canals and rivers across England & Wales.
