Milton Keynes postcodes win 10 People's Postcode Lottery jackpots in six months

Tuesday, 8 September 2020 12:03

This is the 10th time since March that a Milton Keynes-based postcode has won the People's Postcode Lottery.

This comes as six people in Great Linford are celebrating winning £1,000 each today (8/9).

The Hills Close neighbours netted the windfall when MK14 5DA was announced as a Daily Prize.

People’s Postcode Lottery ambassador Judie McCourt sent her well-wishes to the winners. She said: “What lovely news for our winners! Congratulations to them and I hope they enjoy spending their winnings.”

A minimum of 32% of ticket sales goes directly to charities and players of People’s Postcode Lottery have raised over £600 million to date for thousands of good causes in Britain and beyond.

This draw was promoted on behalf of Clic Sargent which has received more than £10.9 million in funding thanks to players. The charity provides vital emotional, practical, financial and clinical support to young cancer patients and their families during and after treatment.
