Six people in Torquay are celebrating after winning £1,000 each thanks to their lucky postcode.
The Babbacombe Road neighbours netted the windfall when TQ1 3SX was announced as a daily prize winner with People's Postcode Lottery on Monday, December 21, 2020.
A minimum of 32 per cent 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.
People's Postcode Lottery ambassador Judie McCourt sent her well-wishes to the winners of Babbacombe Road, Torquay.
She said: "What a lovely surprise for the lucky players in Torquay, congratulations to our winners! I'm sure they'll enjoy spending the cash and treat themselves to something special."
This draw was promoted by NSPCC which has received over £5.2 million in funding thanks to the players of People's Postcode Lottery.
The NSPCC is the leading children's charity in the UK, fighting to end child abuse and neglect in every community.
It helps children who have been abused to rebuild their lives, protect those at risk, and find new ways of preventing abuse from happening in the first place.
NSPCC also run Childline – the free 24-hour helpline and online chat service.
Many good causes close to the winners have also benefitted from players' support, and local charities can apply for funding next year.
