FOUR neighbours in Ramsbottom have had their lockdown made just that little bit better – by bagging a cool £1,000 each thanks to their lucky postcode.

The Kendal Road West residents landed the windfall when BL0 9SY was announced as a People’s Postcode Lottery winner last week.

People’s Postcode Lottery ambassador Matt Johnson sent his well wishes and said: “I’m over the moon for our winners in Bury. A big congratulations to everyone.

"I hope they celebrate and enjoy spending the cash.”

A minimum of 32% of the lottery's ticket sales goes directly to charities and players of People’s Postcode Lottery have raised over £500 million to date for thousands of good causes in Britain and beyond.

The draw was promoted by ActionAid, which has received more than £8.4 million in funding to change the lives of disadvantaged women and children all over the world.
