Several postcodes in the North East have won thousands in the postcode lottery over the past two weeks.

Many take part in the popular lottery in the hope of winning cash prizes and we’ve had a look at all the recent winners in the North East.

People’s Postcode Lottery is a subscription lottery which aims to raise money for charities while also bringing large sums of money to properties across the UK.

Players are able to sign up with their postcode and pay £10 a month for a chance to win after they are automatically entered into a draw.
