A street full of shops and market stalls has won the People's Postcode Lottery this week- and bagged up to £3,000 per player in the process.
The lucky postcode winners of LS21 3AE were announced as the People's Postcode Lottery winners of the day on the lottery website on Tuesday 10 May 2022.
New Market, Otley was the street named in Leeds this week as Postcode Lottery winners.
The high street is home to nineteen different shops and plenty of market stalls, including pubs, local shops, a vaping store, a pizza shop and additional properties specialising in land projects, transport and property development.
The winners were part of the £1,000 daily prizes winners where every ticket in twenty postcodes wins £1,000 every day of the week- the idea is that the more tickets that a particular postcode has, the more winnings it will receive.
Individual players can also purchase multiple tickets and if their postcode comes up as a winner, they can win £1,000 per ticket, with the expected ceiling values of £3,000.
Giving back to the community and the people of the UK, the People's Postcode Lottery says that a minimum of 33% of ticket sales goes to charity- amounting to an incredible sum of £900 million to date.

At present, it is unclear how much has been won by the residents of New Market, Otley- or whether anyone has purchased a ticket eligible for the £1,000 prize but its expected that if any winners come forwards, they are likely to share the good news.
As women around the world swoon over Jacob Elordi, he's too busy loving rocks and sheep.
In case you haven't been on social media over the past week and managed to avoid the influx of paparazzi images, the hotly anticipated 'Wuthering Heights' adaptation is out soon and with that comes heaps of red carpets, screenings and glamorous premieres.
Famously set against the brooding hills of Yorkshire, Wuthering Heights by our very own Emily Brontë follows the tumultuous love story of Heathcliff and Cathy.
Played in the upcoming film by Australian heartthrobs Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie.
During the recent London premiere where Elordi was seen wearing a rather dashing green three piece, the stars were asked what they thought the 'sexiest' thing about Yorkshire is by HitsRadioUK.
A valid question to which Jacob replies "rocks and sheep". I mean, he's got a fair point.
Margot Robbie went into a little more detail, she said "Sunrise and sunset in Yorkshire is a pretty dramatic experience. The sky is literally like red and orange. I honestly couldn't believe it when I was out there. The landscape is stunning."
Why thank you Margot, we absolutely agree. She continues to shower us with compliments stating that the "People are lovely. Pubs are great. I love it"
It seems like Margot has got Yorkshire pretty bang on there, and if she ever needs any pub recommendations then we'll absolutely help her out.
Jacob on the other hand, we know rocks and sheep are sexy but...have you ever met us?
Hopefully he fell in love with our county enough to come back, as we wouldn't mind bumping into him on a hike up the Yorkshire moors.
Popular Leeds gaming bar announces immediate shock closure after going into liquidation
Clementine Hall
Point Blank in Leeds city centre have suddenly closed after going into liquidation.
The popular gaming bar hasn't been open all that long, and was marketed as the country's first simulated shooting range bar.
Despite being a popular attraction since opening last year, the bar has closed immediately, unable to honour any future bookings.
Point Blank confirmed late this Tuesday 3 February that it had sadly entered liquidation, describing the move as “completely unforeseen and beyond our control.”

Up until just a few days ago, the Point Blank branch in Leeds had been promoting events including happy hours, shooting experiences, and even a Superbowl event scheduled for next Sunday 8 February.
A statement on their website reads: "It is with a heavy heart that we announce that Point Blank Shooting has entered liquidation.
"This situation was completely unforeseen and beyond our control. Due to our Manchester landlord entering administration, our lease was lost as part of that process. This had a serious knock-on effect across the wider business, leaving us with no other option.
"After seven incredible years of trading, this is a devastating moment for everyone involved at Point Blank.
"If you currently have a booking with us, we are working closely with the relevant parties to gain clarity and provide answers. We kindly ask for your patience while this process is ongoing.
"Thank you to everyone who has supported us over the years — hopefully this is a see you later, not a goodbye."
