ONE resident in Oakley will see their bank account boosted by £1,000 after their postcode was drawn as a winner in the People’s Postcode Lottery.

The lucky Kennet Way winner, who plays with the postcode RG23 7AN, netted the Daily Prize on Wednesday, 4 April.

People’s Postcode Lottery Ambassador, Danyl Johnson, was on hand to offer his congratulations.

He said: “Well done to our Oakley winner. I really hope they enjoy spending their prize. Make sure you sign up today with your postcode to be in with a chance of winning.”

A minimum of 32% of ticket sales goes directly to charities and players of People’s Postcode Lottery have raised £282 million to date for 4,000 good causes across Great Britain and internationally.

One cause close to the winner that players have helped to support is The Loddon School. The group were awarded £6,000 last year to purchase equipment to create an outdoor gym.
