Westhoughton Postcode Wins £1,000 in Postcode Lottery Daily Draw

Overview

• The postcode BL5 2GS, covering Inworth Close in Westhoughton, was named as a winner in the People's Postcode Lottery daily draw and eligible residents with valid tickets receive £1,000 per ticket.
• Two other North West postcodes were also selected in the same draw: M9 7DJ in Manchester and WA4 2SJ in Grappenhall, with the same £1,000-per-ticket prize for eligible players.
• The People's Postcode Lottery picks winning postcodes rather than individual ticket numbers so multiple households in a winning area can each claim the prize for tickets they hold.
• The lottery states it donates at least 33% of every ticket sale to charities and says players have helped raise more than £1.8 billion for good causes to date.
• Residents should check the Postcode Lottery website for the full official winners list, prize confirmation and details on which charities will benefit, and local winners say the cash provides an unexpected short-term boost.
