Wigan borough neighbours celebrate weekend Postcode Lottery win

Residents of Hawthorn Avenue, Hindley, netted the windfall when WN2 4PW was announced as a Daily Prize winner with People’s Postcode Lottery on Saturday 17th October 2020.

People’s Postcode Lottery ambassador Judie McCourt sent her well-wishes to the winners. She said: “Congratulations to our winners, what brilliant news to here on the weekend! I hope they enjoy spending the cash.”

A minimum of 32% 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 Barnardo’s which has received over £5 million in funding from the players of People’s Postcode Lottery. Barnardo's purpose is to transform the lives of the UK's most vulnerable children through essential services, campaigning and research.

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