Players of the People's Postcode Lottery have raised £30.3 million for charities
and good causes since it was launched in 2008. National charities and small community
associations have received funding from the money raised.

Maggie's Cancer Caring Centres is one of the recipients. The charity's Senior Corporate
Fundraising Manager, Gemma Branney, said: "Maggie's is incredibly grateful to have
received £2.5 million from players in the last five years, funds which have been
vital in ensuring we keep the doors of all 16 Maggie's Centres open and can continue
to offer our unique programme of support to people with cancer as well as their 
friends and families."

The People's Postcode Trust, the grant-giving trust funded by players, has also 
awarded its 1000th grant. Forty five pence from every £2 ticket is donated to charity.
