IT was a very good start to the month for Warrington residents living in one postcode.

Orford residents in the WA2 7RW postcode area all won £1,000 on Sunday if they were signed up to the Postcode Lottery.

The People’s Postcode Lottery is a subscription lottery which aims to raise money for charities while also bringing cash prizes to homes across the UK.

Prizes are announced every day of the month – with £30,000 jackpots and £1,000 prizes for 20 different postcodes every day.

Players can sign up with their postcode and pay £10 per month with a chance to win when they are automatically entered into a draw.

A minimum of 33 per cent from each ticket goes to charity and players have raised more than £950 million for over 9,000 charities and good causes since 2005.
