FIVE people in Tadley are celebrating after winning £1,000 each thanks to their postcode.

The postcode for New Road in the town was drawn as a Daily Prize winner yesterday (Wednesday, April 1).

That meant the lucky players on the road pocketed the cheque, whilst a minimum of 32 per cent of ticket sales go directly to charity.

People’s Postcode Lottery ambassador Danyl Johnson sent his well-wishes to the winners. He said: “I am thrilled for our winners, what a fantastic way to start the month! I hope they enjoy their winnings.”

This particular draw was promoted by Sightsavers, with £3.9 million raised by players.
