FIVE Penketh residents are celebrating as their lucky postcode has earned them a cash prize of £1,000 each.

They have been announced as a winner with People’s Postcode Lottery.

The Druridge Drive neighbours scooped the money when WA5 2EF was announced as a Daily Prize winner with the lottery on Friday.

People’s Postcode Lottery ambassador Judie McCourt said: “What a way to kick-start the weekend for our winners in Warrington!

“I hope they treat themselves to something special with the windfall.”

A minimum of 32 per cent of ticket sales goes directly to charities.

Players of People’s Postcode Lottery have raised £462 million to date for thousands of good causes in Britain and beyond. This draw was promoted by Sightsavers, which has received more than £2.2 million in funding to support its mission of helping to eliminate avoidable blindness.

Many good causes close to the winners have also benefitted from players support, and the next opportunity charities will have to apply for funding is early next year.
