Ten people in Cambuslang had something to celebrate at the weekend after winning a bumper £1,000 each thanks to their lucky postcodes.
Postcodes G72 7GG and G72 7LP were both announced as winners with People’s Postcode Lottery on Friday, scooping a combined £10,000.
There were eight winners in G72 7GG – which takes in MacFarlane Crescent – with a further two players winning with G72 7LP, the postcode of residents in Elm Drive.
People’s Postcode Lottery ambassador and X Factor semi-finalist Danyl Johnson sent his good wishes to the Cambuslang winners.
He said: “What a great bit of news to start the weekend! Congratulations to our winners, I hope they enjoy their winnings.”
A minimum of 32 per cent of 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.
This draw was promoted by Sightsavers, which has received over £3.9 million in funding from the players of People’s Postcode Lottery.
The organisation prevents sight loss and avoidable blindness in more than 30 countries and works with local communities to support people who need it most.
Many good causes close to the winners’ hearts have also benefited from players’ support, and local charities can next apply for funding in August.
It costs £10 a month to play and winning postcodes are announced every day.
