The Jarrow street where three neighbours are celebrating a lottery win on the People's Postcode Lottery

The trio in Jarrow recieved an incredible surprise on Sunday, August 1, after learning they have each won a £30,000 cash prize all thanks to their postcode.

The NE32 5DE – which covers part of Lambton Terrace in Jarrow – was announced as a winner with People’s Postcode Lottery.

The winners chose to remain anonymous, but their winnings will be paid into their bank accounts.

She said: “I am so happy for our winners in Jarrow, what a great surprise for them! I hope they have fun with their winnings and go and get themselves a special treat to celebrate this news.”
