Wellesbourne neighbours scoop Boxing Day postcode lottery win

Two Wellesbourne residents have won £150,000 between them in the People’s Postcode Lottery.

Their postcode, CV35 9RN, was announced as a winner with the lottery on Saturday December 26.

One of the winners netted £50,000, with the second doubling the cash to £100,000 due to playing with two tickets.

The winners decided to remain anonymous but will still receive their prize money.

The neighbours won the prize as part of People’s Postcode Lottery’s special Christmas campaign, where one postcode is announced as a £50,000 prize winner every day.

All the players in the postcode win £50,000 for every ticket they hold.

People’s Postcode Lottery ambassador, Danyl Johnson, said: “A huge congratulations to our Wellesbourne winners.

"I hope they enjoy spending the cash and treat themselves to a late Christmas present.”

According to the People's Postcode Lottery, a minimum of 32 per cent of ticket sales goes directly to charities and players have helped raise more than £600 million to date for thousands of causes across Britain and internationally.

This draw was promoted by Woodland Trust which received more than £15.7 million in funding thanks to players of People’s Postcode Lottery.

The charity creates, protects and restores native woodland across the UK.
