Portsmouth residents in this postcode could have just won £1,000 each

The residents of Arnaud Close, Buckland, have today won £1,000 each.

They netted the windfall when PO2 7DQ was announced as a daily prize winner with People’s Postcode Lottery for September 9.

Ambassador Judie McCourt said: ‘Congratulations to our winners! I’m thrilled for them and I hope they go and treat themselves with their winnings.’

A minimum of 32 per cent of ticket sales goes directly to charities and players of People’s Postcode Lottery have raised over £600 million to date for thousands of good causes in Britain and beyond.

This draw was promoted on behalf of Clic Sargent which has received more than £10.9 million in funding thanks to players.

The charity provides vital emotional, practical, financial and clinical support to young cancer patients and their families during and after treatment.

Many good causes close to the winners have also benefitted from players’ support, and local charities can apply for funding next year.
