Eight North East postcodes have been named among last week’s lucky winners in the Postcode Lottery.
The eight postcodes from the region won £1,000 each in recent draws, with cash prizes going to residents across County Durham.
Winners in the region included residents in Middleton St George, Darlington and Sedgefield.
The Postcode Lottery is a subscription lottery which aims to raise money for charities while also bringing cash prizes to homes across the UK.
Players enter using their postcode as a ticket and pay £12.50 a month to take part in each draw.
It unveils daily prizes for postcodes across the UK, including £30,000 jackpots for every winning ticket in a postcode on weekends, and £1,000 prizes for 20 different postcodes every day.
The lottery not only gives cash prizes but also helps raise funds for charities in the UK and beyond.
To date, players have raised more than £1.7 billion for thousands of charities and community projects, with winners changing every day.
Featured in the list of supported charities are Maggie’s, Dogs Trust, and the NSPCC, who have all benefited from funding.
