Devon Postcode Triumphs with £18.3 Million Postcode Lottery Win

Residents of Tiverton, Devon, are celebrating a remarkable windfall as they prepare to share a staggering £18.3 million from the People’s Postcode Lottery. This unprecedented jackpot marks the largest single prize ever awarded by the lottery, just in time for the festive season.

Details of the Winning Event

The winning participants reside in the postcode sector EX16 6. They will gather to learn the exact amount they have won at a special event held at Blundell’s School, a historic institution over 400 years old, on Saturday, December 13.

Participants can expect to receive a minimum of £3,000 each, with the full winning postcode being announced during the celebration.

Celebration Ahead

High-profile presenters from the People’s Postcode Lottery will be on hand to commemorate the occasion. Matt Johnson, Judie McCourt, and Danyl Johnson will host the event and distribute cheques to the winners.

Matt Johnson expressed his enthusiasm, stating, “I’m thrilled to be heading to Devon to celebrate the largest Postcode Lottery prize that’s ever been won.”

About the EX16 6 Area

The EX16 6 postcode includes the town center and the surrounding areas of Moorhayes and Cowleymoor, adjacent to People’s Park. Unfortunately, residents in nearby regions such as Wilcombe, Tidcombe, Broomhill, Ashley, and Braid Park will not benefit from this win.

Impact of the Lottery

Players of the People’s Postcode Lottery have contributed over £1.5 billion to various charities by participating in the game. One supported charity, Young Lives vs Cancer, has received more than £22 million to aid young cancer patients and their families.

This year, the local charity Action East Devon benefited with a grant of £50,000, enabling them to provide essential mental health and well-being support for children and their families.
