Residents in five North East areas have each won £1,000 in this week's Postcode Lottery draws. The winning postcodes were selected between Saturday, October 3rd and Friday, October 9th, with Westerhope, Peterlee and Sunderland city among the areas celebrating.
How the Postcode Lottery works
Players pay £12.50 per month, using their full home postcode as their entry. At least 30% of the ticket price goes directly to charities and local community projects.
To date, players have raised more than £1.8 billion for thousands of good causes in Britain and internationally. This funding supports charities including Maggie's, Alzheimer’s Society, Dogs Trust, Mind and NSPCC, as well as thousands of small local community projects.

While no one in the region won big on Saturday's draw, several players still netted the £1,000 prize. The full list of winners from October 3rd to 9th is:
- Saturday 03/10/26 – SR8 5PB, Peterlee, County Durham
- Sunday 04/10/26 – SR4 0HQ, Sunderland, Tyne and Wear
- Thursday 08/10/26 – NE5 3HQ, Westerhope, Tyne and Wear
With daily £1,000 draws, weekly Saturday prizes and multi-million-pound shared pots, there are plenty of chances for people in the North East to win each week.
