Lottery supports charities through subscriptions
The People's Postcode Lottery is a national game that raises money for charity through player subscriptions. The report says that at least 33% of the proceeds from each ticket goes to charity.
The latest results mean residents in the selected North East areas could receive a welcome summer payment, while the charitable contribution linked to the game continues alongside the prize draws.
The Hexham result follows the selection of postcode areas in several parts of the region, including other Northumberland communities. The report does not state how many individual Hexham residents shared the prize or provide a separate breakdown for Leazes Crescent.
