Three people in Taunton are celebrating this week after winning £1,000 each thanks to their lucky postcode.

The neighbours netted the windfall when TA3 6BG was announced as a Daily Prize winner with People’s Postcode Lottery on Wednesday, March 4.

People’s Postcode Lottery ambassador Danyl Johnson sent his well-wishes to the winners.

He said: “What a great surprise for our lucky players. I’m sure they’ll be celebrating today.”

A minimum of 32 per cent of ticket sales goes directly to charities and players of People’s Postcode Lottery have raised over £500 million to date for thousands of good causes in Britain and beyond.

This draw was promoted by Oxfam which has received more than £9million in funding from the players of People’s Postcode Lottery.

Oxfam is a global movement of people working together to end the injustice of poverty, supporting disaster relief and health initiatives.
