Four people in Edinburgh are celebrating today after winning £1,000 each thanks to their lucky postcode. 

The Kedslie Road neighbours netted the windfall when EH16 6NT was announced as a Daily Prize winner with People’s Postcode Lottery on Tuesday 29th September 2020.

People’s Postcode Lottery ambassador Judie McCourt sent her well-wishes to the winners. She said: “Congratulations to our winners! I’m thrilled for them and I’m sure this news has made their day.”

A minimum of 32% of ticket sales goes directly to charities and players of People’s Postcode Lottery have raised over £600 million to date for thousands of good causes in Britain and beyond. 

This draw was promoted on behalf of Canal and River Trust which has received more than £10 million in funding thanks to players. It cares for 2,000 miles of canals and rivers across England & Wales and believes waterways have the power to make a difference to people’s lives.

Many good causes close to the winners have also benefitted from players’ support, and local charities can apply for funding next year.
