The Millbrook Close neighbours netted the windfall when their postcode was announced as a Daily Prize winner with People’s Postcode Lottery this week.

People’s Postcode Lottery ambassador Matt Johnson sent his well-wishes to the winners. He said: “A big congratulations to all those who have picked up a prize today in Wheelton. I hope the win will help lift their spirits and they treat themselves to something special with the cash.”

This draw was promoted on behalf of the NSPCC, which has received over £5.2 million worth of funding from the players of People’s Postcode Lottery. The NSPCC works to protect children today, prevent abuse tomorrow and to make child abuse a thing of the past.

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