Those living in the BB8 0QF postcode all won £5,000 on Friday, July 12, if they were signed up to the lottery.

The winners live in Keighley Road, Colne.

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

Prizes are announced every day of the month – with £30,000 jackpots and £1,000 prizes for 20 different postcodes every day.

Players can sign up with their postcode and pay £12 per month with a chance to win when they are automatically entered into a draw.

A minimum of 33 per cent from each ticket goes to charity.
