Residents of an East Lancashire town are £1,000 richer following their success in the People's Postcode Lottery.

The winning ticket on Tuesday (June 25) was in Burnley, and those with a ticket and a BB10 1AD postcode were awarded the prize in the daily draw.

The winning postcode belongs to players in Norman Street.

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.
