Wrexham celebrating after £1,000 Postcode Lottery win

Two people in Wrexham are celebrating after winning £1,000 each thanks to their lucky postcode.

The neighbours netted the windfall when LL13 8RE was announced as a Daily Prize winner with People’s Postcode Lottery on Friday 13th March.

People’s Postcode Lottery ambassador Judie McCourt, said: “Some say Friday the 13th is unlucky, but I’m sure our winners will feel differently today! Congratulations to our winners, I hope they enjoy their winnings.”

A minimum of 32% of ticket sales goes directly to charities and players of People’s Postcode Lottery have raised over £500 million to date for thousands of good causes in Britain and beyond.

This draw was promoted by Maggie’s which has received over £16.1 million in funding from the players of People’s Postcode Lottery. Maggie’s runs a network of cancer support centres across the country. These centres bring people together to help combat the isolation and distress that often accompanies a cancer diagnosis.

Many good causes close to the winners have also benefitted from players’ support, and local charities can next apply for funding in August
