Six areas of the North East, including five on Tyneside, have won £1,000 prizes in the Postcode Lottery this week. The winning postcodes were drawn between Saturday, October 17 and Friday, October 23, with Wallsend, North Shields, Whitley Bay, Gateshead, and Hebburn all among the lucky streets.
Winning Postcodes Revealed
The full list of winners includes NE28 9UN in Wallsend, NE30 3HR in North Shields, NE26 4AF in Whitley Bay, NE9 7EZ in Gateshead, and NE31 2SE in Hebburn. A sixth winner was TS1 3JR in Middlesbrough, North Yorkshire.
No one won big on Saturday's draw, but daily £1,000 prizes and weekly Saturday draws mean there are plenty of chances for North East players to win each week.
How the Lottery Works
Participants 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.
Players have now 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.
