Four people in this Portsmouth street have won £1,000 on the People’s Postcode Lottery

The Balfour Road neighbours netted the windfall when PO2 0DL was announced as a Daily Prize winner with People’s Postcode Lottery on Friday, October 23.

Sending his well-wishes to the winners, People’s Postcode Lottery ambassador Jeff Brazier said: ‘A big congratulations to our winners in Portsmouth today.

‘What a great way to end the week.

‘I’m sure they’ll enjoy spending the cash and treat themselves to something special.’

A minimum of 32 per cent of ticket sales goes directly to charities, with players of People’s Postcode Lottery raising over £600 million to date for thousands of good causes in Britain and beyond.

Today’s draw was promoted on behalf of Barnardo’s, which has received more than £5.2m in funding thanks to players.

Barnardo's supports the UK's most vulnerable children through essential services, campaigning and research.

The children’s charity works directly with more than 300,000 children, young people and families.
