Residents of a Kent postcode are set to count the cash after winning a share of more than £11 million.

Players of the People’s Postcode Lottery (PPL) in part of Deal are set to expect prizes of up to nearly £400,000.

The staggering sum – £11.2 million in total – has been swept up by the lucky players as part of the lottery’s #Millions competition.

As with all prizes in the PPL, the overall sum will be split up at random between each player within the postcode.

A spokesperson for the competition said this means the maximum prize will be £388,875, subject to terms and conditions.

The prize will be split up between each player in the winning CT14 9 postcode at a presentation on Saturday.

In a statement on Facebook, a PPL spokesperson said: “Congratulations to our lucky Millions winners in postcode area CT14 9 in Deal!

“If you play with a postcode beginning with CT14 9, you've won a share of £11.2 MILLION and we'll be seeing you on Saturday - look out for your letter in the post for details!

“Estimated max prize per winning ticket in October Millions and Millionaire Street prize draws is £388,875. T&Cs Apply.”

While it has not been confirmed, this is thought to be the biggest PPL win in Kent.
