Two people in Carlisle woke up to an extra £1,000 each in their bank accounts today.

The neighbours, on Goodwin Close in Carlisle, were the winners of the People's Postcode Lottery.

They both won £1,000 each simply by living in the CA2 4AH postcode.

Danyl Johnson, People’s Postcode Lottery ambassador, congratulated the winners: “What a great surprise to start the week.

"Congratulations to our winners.”

A portion of the People's Postcode Lottery ticket sales is donated to charity.

To date, more than £500 million has been donated.

The Woodland Trust has received more than £13.1 million from players of the lottery which helps to fund the Trust's conservation projects that aim to protect wildlife and plants in more than 1,000 woods across the UK.

Last month, four residents in CA2 4RQ each won £1,000 and in January, four people in Wigton were the lucky winners.
