THESE postcodes are thanking their lucky stars after winning the People’s Postcode Lottery in February.

Across the county, ten postcodes were named among the winners.

For each ticket bought, a daily prize of £1,000 was awarded.

The winning postcodes were:

  • CO7 8BS – Alresford
  • SS11 8QB – Wickford
  • CM1 7QZ – Chelmsford
  • CM2 9GL – Chelmsford
  • SS0 7HS – Westcliff
  • SS2 5DZ – Southend
  • CO4 5AU – Colchester
  • CO4 0JD – Colchester
  • SS4 3EE – Rochford
  • CM0 8TH – Burnham

Every day from Monday to Friday 20 postcodes are randomly selected to win and people in those postcodes who purchased a Postcode Lottery ticket then receive £1,000 per ticket.

On Saturdays, players can win a share of £1 million, and on Sundays players can each win £30,000.

Each ticket is based on the ticketholders' postcode and only playing postcodes are entered into the draws.

If your postcode gets lucky, every player in your postcode wins.

Each subscription costs £12 per month to play, with money paid directly into your bank account within 28 days.

A total of 33 per cent of the ticket price goes to charity.
