Six Bexhill neighbours have won £180,000 prize in the People’s Postcode Lottery.

The Ninfield Road residents each won £30,000 when TN39 5JJ was named as a winning postcode in the December 27th draw.

The prize was part of People’s Postcode Lottery’s Christmas campaign, where one postcode was drawn every day to win £30,000 per ticket in the month of December.

Postcode Lottery winners tell their story

One of the Postcode Lottery winners, Martin Worrall, only signed up to play in November.

“I was absolutely gobsmacked to have won, I couldn’t actually believe it,” he said. “I’ve seen the adverts on TV and all the good causes that the money goes towards, so decided to take the plunge and start playing – and it was perfect timing!”

He said the money would definitely go a long way.

“I have two daughters aged 21 and 24, so I’ll be looking to help them with a bit of their deposits for a house. It’s great to have made a small contribution to local causes and charities too.”

Holiday for Postcode Lottery winners

Another one of the Postcode Lottery winners, Andrew Castle, is planning to take his wife Rachel on a holiday to Iceland.

“To win £30,000 is one of the most amazing things that’s happened to me,” he said. “My wife and I went to Iceland four years ago during the winter, so we’d like to go back in the summer to enjoy the longer days as it’s a lovely place, with fantastic scenery.

He added that he’d like to help his eldest son and his wife with a deposit for a home, and put some money aside for his own savings.

What is the Postcode Lottery?

The People’s Postcode Lottery is a subscription lottery. Players sign up to pay monthly in advance by direct debit, debit card or PayPal.

There are ten draws each month with prizes every day.

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

The December 27th draw was promoted on behalf of the Postcode Culture Trust, who work to inspire learning, understanding and appreciation of science, music, arts and culture to people of all ages.

Many good causes close to the winners have also benefitted, and local charities will again have the opportunity to apply for funding this year.
