FIVE people in a Somerset town beat the Monday blues after learning their postcode was a winner in the People's Postcode Lottery Daily Prize.

The Glastonbury address, BA6 9NH, saw neighbours in Fairfield Gardens net £1,000 for each ticket they play.

People’s Postcode Lottery ambassador, Judie McCourt, sent her congratulations and said: “What a great start to the week for our Glastonbury winners today.

"I’m sure they’ll all enjoy the win and treat themselves to something nice. It’s great that neighbours are winning together but local charities are also benefitting.”

A minimum of 32% of ticket sales goes directly to charities and players of People’s Postcode Lottery have raised £382 million to date for 5,500 good causes across Great Britain and internationally.

Many good causes local to the winners have received funding thanks to players, and the next opportunity to apply for funding will be in February.
