Oldham Residents Rejoice as Daily Lottery Winners Named

Oldham residents rejoiced this week after daily lottery winners were announced for postcode OL2 8EJ. The postcode was selected in the People’s Postcode Lottery daily draw.

Local winners in Shaw

The winning postcode covers several properties on Oak Street in Shaw. This area sits close to the town centre.

Households linked to OL2 8EJ will share the news after the draw took place earlier this week. The daily award for each winning postcode is £1,000.

How the People’s Postcode Lottery works

Draws are made by selecting postcodes at random each day. Each winning postcode receives a £1,000 prize.

Players register using their postcode and pay a monthly subscription of £12.25. That entry covers all daily draws throughout the month.

Winners are revealed as prizes are announced every day. The scheme also runs separate monthly draws for partner charities.

Charitable contributions and reach

The lottery supports multiple UK charities. At least 30 percent of each ticket price goes to charitable causes.

People’s Postcode Lottery manages lotteries for 20 individual charities. Collectively, the initiative has raised more than £1.5 billion nationwide for organisations and projects.
