A TWO million pound windfall is on its way to Warrington after the town was announced as the winners of the People’s Postcode Lottery.

The 'WA1 3' postcode was named as the winning area in the draw and lucky players in the area will share the £2m prize pot.

Winners will discover just how much they have won at a celebration at The Park Royal Hotel on Saturday, October 25. 

Those playing with the full winning postcode, which will be revealed at the event, will take home the lion’s share of the £2 million prize. 

People’s Postcode Lottery ambassador Judie McCourt said some residents could expect life-changing amounts.

She said: “I am so excited to be joining our lucky players from Warrington at The Park Royal Hotel to celebrate them sharing the £2 million Postcode Millions prize pot. 

"I can’t wait to see how people react when their cheques are revealed.”

Judie continued: “We were in Manchester in March celebrating with another community who won big so it’s great to be back in the North West of England. 

"I want to wish all players living in the WA1 3 sector a massive congratulations.” 

But it’s not just winners who benefit from playing People’s Postcode Lottery. 

To date players have raised over £51.4 million for charities and good causes, including Missing People, Dogs Trust and Riding for the Disabled Association.
