ONE lucky people’s postcode lottery player from Burnley is £1,000 richer.

The resident’s postcode BB12 0RW was drawn as a winner of the daily prize on Wednesday which is worth £1,000 per winning ticket.

A minimum of 31 per cent of ticket sales goes directly to charities and players of People’s Postcode Lottery have raised more than £246 million to date.

People’s Postcode Lottery Ambassador, Danyl Johnson, said: “What a great prize for our Burnley player just weeks before Christmas."

A local cause that has received support from players is Pennine Lancashire Community Farm, which was awarded more than £18,000 this year to restore an area of woodland for a range of activities for both schools and adults.
