People in five North East areas have won £1,000 each in the Postcode Lottery this week. The winning postcodes were drawn between Saturday, October 10th and Friday, October 16th, with Darlington, Houghton-le-Spring and Cramlington among the areas celebrating.
How the Postcode Lottery works
Participants pay £12.50 per month and use their full home postcode as their entry. At least 30% of the ticket price goes directly to charities and local community projects.
Players have raised more than £1.8 billion for thousands of good causes in Britain and internationally. Charities supported include Maggie's, Alzheimer’s Society, Dogs Trust, Mind and NSPCC, as well as thousands of small local community projects.
Winning postcodes from October 10-16
The full list of North East winners from October 10th to 16th is as follows:
- Saturday 10/10/26: DL2 1DJ – Piercebridge, Darlington, County Durham
- Sunday 11/10/26: DH4 4TT – Houghton-le-Spring, City of Sunderland
- Sunday 11/10/26: TS21 2EE – Sedgefield, Stockton-on-Tees, County Durham
- Thursday 15/10/26: DL3 0GZ – Darlington town centre, County Durham
- Thursday 15/10/26: NE23 7DH – Cramlington, Northumberland
No one won big in the region on Saturday's draw, but the five winning areas this week nearly double last week's total, meaning more people in the area are receiving good news.
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.
