Ralph Sherwin Court postcode sees nine win £1,000

People’s Postcode Lottery ambassador Danyl Johnson

Nine people in Rochdale are celebrating after each winning £1,000 thanks to their lucky postcode.

The Ralph Sherwin Court neighbours netted the windfall when OL12 9AU was announced as a Daily Prize winner with People’s Postcode Lottery on Monday (26 October).

This draw was promoted on behalf of Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) which has received more than £3.5 million in funding thanks to players.

RNIB is one of the UK's leading sight loss charities and the largest community of blind and partially sighted people. Its focus is on giving people the help, support and tools they need to realise their aspirations.

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

He said: “What a great way to kick off the week. Congratulations to all the winners in Rochdale; I hope they enjoy spending the prize money.”

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.

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