CHRISTMAS is coming early to residents who live and play the People's Postcode Lottery in WA10 6 postcode after they won a share of £3 million.

All of the lucky residents who play with a ticket in the postcode sector will land a share of the cash.

The residents will find out exactly how much they’ve won on Saturday, December 22.

Those who play with a ticket in the full winning postcode will land the biggest share of the money, and players’ prizes will vary depending on how many tickets they play with.

This isn’t the first time that a St Helens postcode has scooped the £3 million prize pot, as neighbours in WA9 5PP celebrated winning the monthly prize in August last year.

People’s Postcode Lottery ambassadors Jeff Brazier and Matt Johnson will be knocking on the winners' doors and presenting them with their cheques.

Matt said: “Congratulations St Helens. I can’t believe it’s scooped the Postcode Millions prize twice in two years, and I’m looking forward to coming back to spread some Christmas cheer by handing out some lovely cheques.

"Good luck to all of the players in WA10 6.”

With a minimum of 32 per cent of every ticket going to charity, players have raised over £371 million for more than 5,500 charities to date.
