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

The neighbours netted the windfall when TQ12 2SL was announced as a Daily Prize winner with People’s Postcode Lottery on Friday 4th December 2020.

People’s Postcode Lottery ambassador Judie McCourt sent her well-wishes to the winners. She said: ‘What a lovely surprise to receive during the holiday season, congratulations to our winners in Newton Abbot! I’m sure they’ll enjoy spending the cash and treat themselves to something special.’

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 African Parks which has received over £4.3 million in funding from the players of People’s Postcode Lottery. African Parks manages and restores national parks in Africa, in partnership with governments and local communities. It applies a business approach to conserving Africa’s wildlife and remaining wild areas, securing vast landscapes and carrying out the necessary activities needed to protect the parks and their wildlife.

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