Hemel Hempstead neighbours scoop lottery windfall

Four Hemel Hempstead neighbours are celebrating landing a cash prize of £30,000 each thanks to their postcode.

The Longman Court residents scooped the windfall when HP3 9RS was announced as a winner with People’s Postcode Lottery on Saturday 5th September.

The winners chose to remain anonymous but the prize will be paid into their bank account.

Matt Johnson, TV presenter and People’s Postcode Lottery ambassador, congratulated the players on the windfall.

He said: “What a great start to the weekend for our winners in Hemel Hempstead – a big congratulations to them all! I hope they get the chance to celebrate today and treat themselves to something special.”
