RESIDENTS of two lucky streets in Gwent are among the nine postcodes to have won a big prize in  one of daily draws. 

People living in homes with the postcodes NP25 4LW and CF82 7HR have each won £1,000 in a daily prize draw from March 23 to April 6. 

The winning postcodes belong to Redbrook in Monmouth, and Derwendeg Avenue, Hengoed, Caerphilly. 

Seven other Welsh postcodes were featured in these recent draws, in Cardiff, Pembrokeshire, Gywnedd and Rhondda Cynon Taf, but these were the only ones in Gwent to be featured.

A minimum of 33 per cent of the ticket prices goes to charity.
