Residents of a Lancashire village are celebrating today after securing the People’s Postcode Lottery jackpot.
Winners were awarded £1,000 by the lottery.
One of the winning postcodes across the country was in Coote Lane, Lostock Hall.
Those with a PR5 5JB postcode and a winning ticket were awarded the daily prize draw on Friday (April 5).
Subscriptions to the postcode lottery support a range of charities across the UK, with a minimum of 33 per cent of the ticket prices going to charity.
The People’s Postcode Lottery manages lotteries for 20 charities, with each one having one draw a month.
The lottery is hugely popular nationally and supports "a wide range of charities and good causes across Britain and around the world".
To date, they’ve provided more than £1.1bn in funding which is helping thousands of organisations and projects.
