Postcode Lottery Sheffield: a dream start to August for Steel City as one street bags cash prize
The first Sheffield winners of the Postcode Lottery this month have been revealed
Sheffield has welcomed another Postcode Lottery winner with residents in Frecheville becoming the first to cash in this month.
The postcode S12 4RH was drawn on Saturday (August 1) marking a dream start to the month for the home owners at S12 4RH on Silkstone Road, who became £1,000 richer as a result of them being in the draw.
The win comes amid a strong summer for Sheffield with six addresses bagging prizes across July and June, although neither month hit the heights of May when as many as six postcodes in the Steel City won £1,000.
Postcode Lottery is a subscription-based lottery which raises money for charities. Not only do players win cash prizes, but good causes also receive essential support.
Your postcode works as your ticket. For £12.50 a month you’re entered into every prize draw and there are guaranteed winners every day. People play with their chosen postcode and are automatically entered into all draws.
Prizes include the weekly Millionaire Street prize and monthly £250,000 or Postcode Millions prizes.
If your postcode gets picked in the £250,000 prize, for example, every ticket in that postcode wins £250,000. Every day, there are £1,000 prizes to be won for every ticket in 20 postcodes. If you play with two tickets, you receive double the winning prize amount.
Players have raised more than £1.8 billion for thousands of good causes in Britain and internationally, funding charities including Maggie's, Alzheimer’s Society, Dogs Trust, Mind, NSPCC and many others, as well as thousands of small local community projects.
