Four people from East Lancashire were celebrating on Friday after each of them bagged a substantial lottery win.

The lucky players, who all live on the same street, won £1,000 each when their postcode was announced as a Daily Prize winner with the People's Postcode Lottery.

People’s Postcode Lottery ambassador Judie McCourt said: "What a way to start the weekend.

"Congratulation to our winners, I think they will be celebrating tonight."

The neighbours, who live on Dent Street in Colne, netted the windfall when the postcode, BB8 8JG, was announced on Friday.

A minimum of 32 percent 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, a cancer support centre, which has received more than £14.2 million in funding from the players of People’s Postcode Lottery.

Maggie's runs a network of cancer support centres nationwide and offers support to anyone affected by cancer.
