Neighbours in a Barkway street scooped big cash prizes in the People’s Postcode Lottery at the weekend, after their postcode was drawn as a winner.

Two of the High Street residents won £30,000 each, one doubled the prize to a whopping £60,000 thanks to playing with two tickets.

People's Postcode Lottery ambassador, Judie McCourt, said: "Wow - what a great weekend for our Barkway winners! I hope they have a great time spending their prize money and celebrate in style."

A minimum of 32 per cent of ticket sales goes directly to charities and this draw was promoted on behalf of Amnesty International UK, which has received more than £6.3 million thanks to player support. The charity works to protect women, men and children wherever justice, freedom, truth, and dignity are denied.
