RESIDENTS in Cheshire have scooped a £7.9million lottery prize.

Players living in Lowton, Warrington, with postcodes beginning with WA3 1 will split the jackpot after being selected as winners on the People’s Postcode Lottery.

Participants will scoop at least £5,000 each, with the full total set to be announced on Saturday, April 30.

On that date, the full winning postcode will be revealed – with neighbours on this street receiving the biggest prizes.

Winners have been invited to an exclusive event, during which they will receive golden envelopes and learn exactly how much they have won.

People’s Postcode Lottery ambassador Judie McCourt said: “I am buzzing with excitement for our Lowton winners and can’t wait to bring them this incredible news.

“I’m sure they’ll be excited for Saturday, and I think this surprise will make their weekend.”
