Tameside strikes gold again in Postcode Lottery

Four people in Dukinfield are celebrating after each winning £1,000 thanks to their lucky postcode. 

The Yew Tree Lane neighbours netted the windfall when SK16 5DE was announced as a Daily Prize winner with People's Postcode Lottery on Friday (25 September). 

People's Postcode Lottery ambassador Judie McCourt sent her well-wishes to the winners. She said: "What a fantastic way to kick start 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 over £600 million to date for thousands of good causes in Britain and beyond. 

The draw was promoted on behalf of Friends of the Earth, which has received more than £9.1 million in funding thanks to players. It defends wildlife and natural habitats, works to secure safer food and water and champions the move to clean energy.

Many good causes close to the winners have also benefitted from players' support, and local charities can apply for funding next year.
