A SAINT Athan resident has scooped a £1,000 win thanks to their lucky postcode.

The postcode CF62 4LD landed the People’s Postcode Lottery’s Daily Prize on Thursday, September 21, with a single winner pocketing the cheque.

People’s Postcode Lottery Ambassador, Danyl Johnson, said it was: "A great prize for our player in St Athan."

Nearly a third of ticket sales for the People's Postcode Lottery goes directly to charities, with Rhondda (Cold Knap) Lifeguard Club among those to benefit.

The volunteer lifeguards were awarded £1,035 last year to fund training for their members under the scheme.
