Eight Wakefield players scoop £1,000 prize in national Postcode Lottery

A total of eight people in the winning postcode secured the prize this morning, when their postcode was drawn at random.

People’s Postcode Lottery ambassador Judie McCourt sent her well-wishes to the winners, who live in postcode WF7 5NA.

She said: “Congratulations to our winners! I’m sure this news has made their day and I hope they enjoy their winnings.”

It comes just weeks after four lucky players in Walton scooped a massive £30,000 prize.

A minimum of 32% 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 by Girlguiding which has received over £5.8 million in funding from the players of People’s Postcode Lottery. Girlguiding is active in every part of the UK, giving girls and young women a space where they can be themselves, have fun, build brilliant friendships, gain valuable life skills and make a positive difference to their lives and their communities.

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