THESE Essex streets are thanking their lucky stars after winning the People's Postcode Lottery in August.

Across the county, 12 postcodes were named among the winners.

For each ticket bought, a daily prize of £1,000 was awarded.

Here are all of the postcodes which were winners:

  • CM16 6DL - Epping
  • CO15 2RH - Clacton
  • CM6 2LX - Dunmow
  • CO3 4HA - Colchester
  • SS2 5DH - Southend
  • CM6 1RY - Dunmow
  • SS8 9EJ - Canvey
  • SS6 9EH - Rayleigh
  • CM77 8DP - Cressing
  • SS0 9HQ - Westcliff
  • SS8 7EX - Canvey
  • CO6 4BA - Colchester

Every day from Monday to Friday 20 postcodes are randomly selected to win and people in those postcodes who purchased a Postcode Lottery ticket then receive £1,000 per ticket.

On Saturdays, players can win a share of £1 million, and on Sundays players can each win £30,000.

Each ticket is based on the ticketholders' postcode and only playing postcodes are entered into the draws.

If your postcode gets lucky, every player in your postcode wins.

Each subscription costs £12 per month to play, with money paid directly into your bank account within 28 days.

A total of 33 per cent of the ticket price goes to charity.
