It was a weekend to remember for residents in Great Sankey, as the Postcode Lottery delivered a surprise win to neighbours living in WA5 1JJ. Those lucky enough to be signed up discovered they had each bagged £1,000, all thanks to their postcode.
The unexpected windfall dropped on Sunday morning, turning an ordinary day into a mini celebration for many on the street.
Wirral Neighbours celebrates Postcode Lottery win
One resident, overwhelmed with joy, shared: “I never imagined waking up to a thousand pounds just like that. It feels surreal – but brilliant!”
The People’s Postcode Lottery continues to transform everyday postcodes into life-changing opportunities. This UK-wide subscription lottery is unique not just for its daily prizes, but for its powerful support of charitable causes.
Here’s how it works:
- Players sign up using their postcode
- Entry costs £12 a month
- Winners are drawn daily – with 20 postcodes each receiving £1,000
- Weekly draws offer jackpots of £30,000
- And the best part? At least 33% of every ticket goes directly to charity
Since its launch in 2005, the Postcode Lottery has raised a staggering £950 million+ for over 9,000 charities across the UK.
Warrington’s WA5 1JJ residents had more than just a Sunday lie-in to smile about, thanks to the Postcode Lottery; they each woke up £1,000 richer. With over £950 million raised for UK charities, this isn’t just a game, it’s a movement.
Why the Postcode Lottery Stands Out
Unlike traditional lotteries, this one ties your fate to where you live. It brings a sense of community to winning because when your postcode wins, you and your neighbours often win together.
The impact isn’t just financial. The Postcode Lottery supports organisations ranging from The Wildlife Trusts, Shelter, and Cancer Research UK to countless grassroots groups helping families, animals, and the environment.
One WA5 local said, “It feels good knowing that while I’ve won something for myself, I’m also helping someone else. That’s why I joined in the first place.”
