Residents of a street in an East Lancashire town are £1,000 richer heading into the bank holiday weekend following their success in the People’s Postcode Lottery.

The winning ticket today, Tuesday, August 19, is in Sabden, and those with a ticket and a BB7 9DJ postcode were awarded the prize in the daily draw.

The lottery is hugely popular nationally and supports "a wide range of charities and good causes across Britain and around the world".

To date, it has provided more than £1.1 billion in funding which is helping thousands of organisations and projects.
