New Year Bonus For Ingleby Barwick

A postcode in Ingleby Barwick has been drawn as one of 2016's last Street Prize winners, earning one lucky resident a £25,000 prize. They scooped the prize with their lucky postcode, TS17 0TQ.

Newton Tucker, a window cleaner, said it was going to be a fantastic new year after finding out exactly how much he'd won.

"It just hasn't sunk in – we are all completely delighted and over the moon. It's going to be a mint new year!

"We've always promised our son a trip to Florida, so now we'll be able to make that dream come true. I've no idea yet what we'll do with the rest, apart from of course treating the family.

"We're going out to a special dinner for our Gran's 60th tomorrow, so there'll be a few extra bottles of champagne at the table."

"I didn't realise just how much players had raised for charity – over £161 Million is just phenomenal. I'll definitely keep on playing."

Street Prize Presenter Judie McCourt said, "It was great to meet Newton in Ingleby Barwick and hand over that fantastic cheque. Make sure you sign up to play People's Postcode Lottery and hopefully we'll be knocking on your door soon."

Players of People's Postcode Lottery have raised more than £161 Million to date for good causes across Great Britain and internationally.

A charity local to this week's winner is Teesmouth Field Centre which has received over £4,500 this year for their Helping Habitats project.

An hour up the road from Newton, Dawn Hayes in Greenside won this weekend's second Saturday Street Prize, Maerdy players landed the £5,000 + BMW prize, and Reedham players scooped Dream Holidays.
