Overview
- Five streets across the North East each secured £1,000 prizes through the lottery’s recent daily draws.
- The winning postcodes were NE11 9BE in Dunston (Gateshead), SR3 1NL in Plains Farm (Sunderland), DH5 8ET in Houghton-le-Spring, DH9 6XN in Stanley, and TS5 4RE in Middlesbrough.
- The People’s Postcode Lottery links prizes to where players live, so tickets registered to a winning postcode each pay out the stated amount.
- Daily draws include 20 postcode prizes of £1,000, with larger weekend jackpots that can reach £30,000 per winning ticket.
- Organisers say players have raised more than £950 million for over 9,000 causes since 2005 through the model that allocates a minimum of one-third of ticket sales to charity.
