FOUR people in a South Lakeland village are celebrating today after winning £1,000 each thanks to their lucky postcode.

The neighbours from Whittington, near Kirkby Lonsdale, netted the windfall when LA6 2NJ was announced as a daily prize winner with the People’s Postcode Lottery.

People’s Postcode Lottery ambassador Danyl Johnson sent his well-wishes to the winners. He said: “What a great midweek surprise!

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

This draw was promoted by the Woodland Trust which has received over £11.8 million in funding from the players of People’s Postcode Lottery. It is the UK’s leading woodland conservation charity and owns more than 1,000 woods across the country. It supports these green areas for both people and wildlife.
