Overview
- The Postcode Lottery selected three North West postcodes as winners, with L40 4AH (Burscough), WN5 7BZ (Wigan) and CA16 6RD (Appleby-in-Westmorland) each paying out to valid ticket holders.
- Every valid ticket in a selected postcode receives £1,000 and the lottery chooses 20 winning postcodes in its daily draw.
- Local coverage maps identify the winning areas in detail, including the ground between Meadow Lane and Warper's Moss Lane in Burscough, Belmont Avenue in Billinge/Orrell, and High Wiend in Appleby-in-Westmorland.
- The Postcode Lottery pledges a minimum of 33% of ticket sales to charities and community projects and says players have helped raise more than £1.7 billion to date.
- Residents with valid tickets in the winning postcodes can expect immediate cash payouts and local charities may benefit indirectly through the lottery’s regular fundraising and society-lottery partnerships.
