They both received £1,000 courtesy of the People’s Postcode Lottery when their SR5 5BG postcode was chosen as a daily prize winner over the bank holiday weekend.

Lottery ambassador Danyl Johnson sent his well wishes to the winners, who are from Elmwood Avenue, in the Marley Potts area of the city.

The pair’s win quickly follows five neighbours in Wolseley Terrace, off Chester Road, Sunderland, and four residents in Curlew Close, Oxclose, Washington, all receiving £1,000 each following two separate draws.

The latest draw was promoted by The Ramblers, which has received more than £10.1million in funding from lottery players to protect and expand the places where people love to walk.
