The Seaham street where six neighbours are celebrating a lottery win

They are all to receive £1,000 after their SR7 OAR postcode was pulled out of the People’s Postcode Lottery daily draw for Tuesday, August 25.

Lottery ambassador Judie McCourt congratulated the six winners, who live in Rutland Street, Seaham, and added: “I hope they have fun with their winnings.”

A minimum of 32% of postcode lottery ticket sales goes directly to charities and players have already raised more than £600 million for thousands of good causes.

The Seaham windfall follows just a day after four residents in Curlew Close, Oxclose, Washington, all received an identical sum.

Five people in Wolseley Terrace, off Chester Road, Sunderland, also received £1,000 each in a daily draw last week.

The latest draw was promoted by the Save the Children charity, which has received more than £10.1 million in funding from the lottery.
