Nine people in Whittington are celebrating after winning £1,000 each in a lottery draw.
The Langton Crescent residents netted the windfall when their postcode was announced as a winner on the People’s Postcode Lottery.
The draw was promoted by Sightsavers which has received more than £3.9 million of funding from the lottery.
People’s Postcode Lottery ambassador Danyl Johnson said:
“What a great bit of news to start the weekend.
“Congratulations to our winners, I hope they enjoy their winnings.”

This is a paltry sum to have won considering the odds. Many so called charity based lotteries pay little to both winners and causes. The considerable income disappears in running costs. The credulous contributors have both their aspirations and generosity thwarted by such schemes.
