Tiny Yorkshire village shares £1m in Postcode Lottery win - as one resident scoops £378,000
A tiny Yorkshire village has scooped a £1m win in the latest Postcode Lottery draw - with one resident scooping more than £350,000.
Boasting just 800 residents, Dacre was announced as the winner of the lottery’s Millionaire Street prize today (Oct 25) after HG3 4AP was drawn.
It meant one lucky winner bagged a total of £378,282, while 88 other people in the surrounding area get a share of the prize as part of the HG3 4 postcode area.
It means they have won between £6,155 and £18,465, depending on how many tickets they play with.
Dacre sits on a hill overlooking the River Nidd in the Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Postcode Lottery ambassador Judie McCourt said: “Dacre may be a small village, but it now has a million reasons to think big.
“Congratulations to all 89 of the local players who have shared in this amazing win spread across a beautiful rural area of Yorkshire.
“What an amazing event to bring everyone in the community together. Hopefully they can all mark it with a big celebration.”
