A number of postcodes in Cornwall won thousands of pounds in the People's Postcode Lottery during August 2024.

Multiple streets across the county scooped prizes after their postcodes came out in the draw.

The People’s Postcode Lottery is a subscription lottery which aims to raise money for charities while also bringing cash prizes to homes across the UK.

Every day from Monday to Friday there are £1,000 prizes to be won for 20 different postcodes around the UK.

Meanwhile, on Saturdays, players could win a share of £1 million, and on Sundays, players could each win £30,000.

The People's Postcode Lottery website adds: "Every month players in a postcode sector share £3.2 Million or more. In this example, £1.6 Million of this will be shared equally by tickets playing with the winning postcode, with the other £1.6 Million being shared equally by tickets playing with the winning postcode sector.

"On the rare occasion where there are not enough winning tickets in the postcode sector, the area may be expanded to the postcode district."
