People’s Postcode Lottery ambassador Danyl Johnson sent his well-wishes to the winners.

He said: “Congratulations to all the winners this Saturday, brilliant news. I hope you enjoy spending the cash”

"A big congratulations to our winners in Dingestow," he added after Sunday's draw. "What a great way to kick off the month.

"I’m sure they’ll enjoy spending the cash and treat themselves to something special."

A minimum of 32 per cent of ticket sales goes directly to charities and players of People’s Postcode Lottery have raised more than £600 million to date for thousands of good causes in Britain and beyond.

The weekend's draws was promoted on behalf of WWF-UK, a world-leading conservation organisation which has received more than £18.4 million in funding thanks to players.

WWF-UK works to reverse the effects of climate change, plastics, the illegal wildlife trade and habitat loss to bring about a brighter future for our planet.

Many good causes close to the winners have also benefitted from players’ support, and local charities can apply for funding next year.
