Residents of an East Lancashire town are £1,000 richer following their success in the People's Postcode Lottery.

The winning ticket on Tuesday (July 9) was in Burnley, and those with a ticket and a BB12 6HL postcode were awarded the prize in the daily draw.

The winning postcode belongs to players in Owen Street.

Subscriptions to the postcode lottery support a range of charities across the UK, with a minimum of 33 per cent of the ticket prices going to charity.

The lottery is hugely popular nationally and supports "a wide range of charities and good causes across Britain and around the world".

To date, they’ve provided more than £1.1bn in funding which is helping thousands of organisations and projects.
