Overview
- Residents in two Lancashire streets received £1,000 each after their postcodes were selected in the Postcode Lottery daily draw.
- The winning locations were Tulketh Crescent in Preston (PR2 2RH) and Laingthwaite Road in Quernmore (LA2 9EB).
- The Postcode Lottery selects 20 postcodes each day and awards £1,000 for every ticket sold in each winning postcode, creating neighbourhood-level winners.
- The operator says it directs at least 33% of ticket income to charities, has distributed more than £1.1 billion to date, and manages lotteries for 20 charities.
- The story was reported by the Lancashire Telegraph through a subscriber partnership with USA Today, and the prize offers a modest cash boost to households in the winning streets.
