The latest Sunderland street where neighbours are celebrating a lottery win

Just days ago, five neighbours in Wolseley Terrace, off Chester Road, Sunderland, pocketed £1,000 individually after their postcode was pulled out of the People’s Postcode Lottery daily draw.

Now four residents living in Washington are to receive an identical sum each after their NE38 0EH postcode was chosen in the Monday, August 24, draw.

People’s Postcode Lottery ambassador Judie McCourt sent the four neighbours in Curlew Close, Oxclose, her congratulations and added: “What great news for them and I hope they go and treat themselves with their winnings.”

A minimum of 32% of ticket sales goes directly to charities from the draws and lottery players have already raised more than £600 million to date for thousands of good causes in Britain and beyond.

Monday’s draw was promoted by the Save the Children charity.
