Wednesday’s draw was promoted by the Wildlife Trusts, which look after more than 2,300 nature reserves and operate over 100 visitor and education centres across the country.

Between them, they have received more than £12.6 million in funding thanks to players of the People’s Postcode Lottery, which has raised over £500 million for good causes in Britain and beyond.

People’s Postcode Lottery ambassador Judie McCourt said: “Congratulations to our winners. I’m sure this news has made their day! I hope they enjoy their winnings.”
