FIVE lucky neighbours in Dudley are celebrating after winning big on the Postcode Lottery.

The neighbours on Sledmere Road landed themselves a windfall of £1,000 each after their DY2 postcode was announced as a People’s Postcode Lottery Daily Prize winner on Friday, May 29.

People’s Postcode Lottery ambassador and TV presenter Matt Johnson sent his best to the lucky winners.

He said: "I’m sure the windfall will help lift their spirits and I hope they can treat themselves to something special.”

Players of People’s Postcode Lottery have raised over £500 million to date for thousands of good causes in Britain and beyond as a minimum of 32% of ticket sales goes directly to charities.

The draw was promoted by Amnesty International UK, who have so far received more than £8.1 million in funding to help protect women, men and children wherever justice, freedom, truth, and dignity are denied.

The next opportunity for local charities to apply for funding raised by players will be in August.
