Since launch, an incredible 881 top tier prizes, of at least £50,000, have been banked by players in the S postcode – that’s more than three winners every month.

Andy Carter, Senior Winners' Advisor at The National Lottery, said: “The S, Sheffield postcode, is an area which is clearly extremely lucky – and in the top five places to live in the UK. It is a postcode stuffed full of both big winners and millionaires.

“The National Lottery makes, on average, a new millionaire every day meaning there are big winners in every corner of the country. We are always ready to help celebrate and have plenty of champagne on ice.”

It isn’t just individuals winning big, the entire community benefits from the money raised by The National Lottery.
