THREE neighbours in Peterlee were celebrating after their lucky postcode, SR8 3LJ, scooped them a cash prize.

The Rutherford House residents will all find an extra £1,000 each in their bank account for every People’s Postcode Lottery ticket they play with, after their postcode won the Daily Prize yesterday.

People’s Postcode Lottery ambassador Judie McCourt sent her congratulations and said: “What a wonderful Wednesday for all our players in Peterlee who picked up a prize today– I’m sure they’ll have a great time spoiling themselves with the windfall."

At least 32 per cent of ticket sales go directly to charities, for details and how to play visit postcodelottery.co.uk or Facebook and Twitter.
