Residents with the postcode WA6 6EA woke up on Sunday to the news that they had won £1,000 in the People’s Postcode Lottery draw. People living on Carriage Drive in Frodsham claimed the prize if they were signed up to the subscription lottery.
The win is part of the lottery’s regular prize draws, which hand out £1,000 prizes every day across 20 postcodes and also include weekly Millionaire Street prizes and monthly £250,000 or Postcode Millions prizes. Players with two tickets receive double the winning prize amount.
The People’s Postcode Lottery is designed to do more than pay out cash. Players sign up with their postcode and pay £12 per month for a chance to win when they are automatically entered into the draw, while helping raise money for charities and good causes in Britain and internationally.
That wider role is why the lottery has become a long-running fixture for many households: players have raised more than £1.7 billion through the scheme for thousands of good causes. For the residents on WA6 6EA, Sunday brought a direct payout; for the lottery, it was another routine draw that blended local luck with a national fundraising model.
