Lucky Harrogate resident scoops incredible £30k win on People's Postcode Lottery

‘Crammed’ housing plans for Boroughbridge rejected by Harrogate councillors

The win comes after their postcode of HG2 8QA was announced as a winner with the lottery on Saturday, June 5.

The winner chose to remain anonymous, but their winnings will be paid into their bank account.

People’s Postcode Lottery ambassador Judie McCourt sent her well-wishes to the winner. She said: “What a fantastic surprise for our winner in Harrogate! I hope they enjoy celebrating this weekend and enjoy spending the cash. Congratulations!”

Every Saturday and Sunday throughout June, the lottery draws one postcode which will be announced as a £30,000 prize winner. All the players in the postcode will win £30,000 for every ticket they hold.

People’s Postcode Lottery costs £10 a month to play and there are guaranteed winners every day. People play with their chosen postcode and are automatically entered into all draws.

A minimum of 33% of ticket sales goes directly to charities and players of People’s Postcode Lottery have helped raise over £700 million to date for thousands of good causes across Britain and internationally.

This draw was promoted on behalf of Postcode Education Trust. Its mission is to provide education particularly in emergency situations through regular grant funding to charities and good causes.
