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

The winning ticket on Tuesday (November 19) was in Padiham, and those with a ticket and a BB12 7BW postcode were awarded the prize in the daily draw.

The winning postcode belongs to players in St John's Road and Manchester Road.
