Two people in Blackwood are celebrating today after winning £1,000 each thanks to their lucky postcode.

The High Street neighbours netted the windfall when NP12 3SZ was announced as a Daily Prize winner with People’s Postcode Lottery on Wednesday 15th January 2020.

People’s Postcode Lottery ambassador Judie McCourt sent her well-wishes to the winners. She said: “What a great surprise to start the day! Congratulations to all our winners.”

A minimum of 32% of ticket sales goes directly to charities and players of People’s Postcode Lottery have raised over £500 million to date for thousands of good causes in Britain and beyond.

This draw was promoted by Maggie’s which has received over £14.2 million in funding from the players of People’s Postcode Lottery. It runs a network of cancer support centres nationwide and offers support to anyone affected by cancer.

Many good causes close to the winners have also benefitted from players’ support, and the next opportunity local charities will have to apply for funding will be 21st January.
