Two lucky Wisbech neighbours win £1,000 to start the year

Two people in Wisbech had an extra reason to celebrate this New Year after winning £1,000 each thanks to their postcode.

The neighbours, who live in the North Brink area, landed the windfall when PE13 4TA was announced as a People’s Postcode Lottery Daily Prize winner on New Year's Day.

People’s Postcode Lottery ambassador Judie McCourt sent her well-wishes and said: “Congratulations to our winners, what a lovely way to start the year! I hope they enjoy their winnings and go treat themselves to something special.”

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.

This draw was promoted on behalf of Crisis which has received more than £5.7 million in funding thanks to players. The charity is dedicated to ending homelessness and throughout the year helps approximately 10,000 people in England, Scotland and Wales.

Many good causes close to the winners have also benefited from players’ support, and local charities can apply for funding this year.
