What the public records show about PPL and daily wins
- According to PPL’s official prize information, every day there are “£1,000 per ticket” prizes given to tickets in winning postcodes. (postcodelottery.co.uk)
- Recent published “winning street” lists (e.g., from March 2025 or April 2025) show the postal codes that won a £1,000 daily draw. (Yahoo News UK) However, I did not see “CH65 6QS” (or another Ellesmere Port postcode) listed in those recent public draws.
What about Ellesmere Port specifically — history vs. recent claims
- There is a past record (from 2022) in which homeowners in an Ellesmere Port street with postcode “CH65 6QS” reportedly won £1,000 each on PPL. (thefreelibrary.com)
- That 2022 win appears in a Cheshire‑area summary of “luckiest streets.” (thefreelibrary.com)
- I found no reputable news article or recent PPL announcement (2024–2025) confirming a fresh “Ellesmere Port street” win. Local‑news archives and national draws lists don’t show “CH65 6QS” or similar — which you would expect for a recent win.
- The only “source” suggesting a recent Ellesmere Port win is a posting in a Facebook group claiming “residents on an Ellesmere Port street have won £1,000 … postcode ‘CH65 6QS’” (Facebook)
- But this is not a verified or official source — and I found no corroboration from mainstream media, PPL’s “Winners’ Stories,” or trusted news outlets.
What this means — Why the claim seems unverified
- The 2022 win for “CH65 6QS” shows that Ellesmere Port has indeed had PPL winners in the past. But that doesn’t mean there was a recent draw.
- Because the claim about a “latest” draw comes from an unverified social‑media post, it cannot be treated as confirmed fact without further evidence (e.g., official winners list, local news coverage, or PPL confirmation).
- PPL results are publicly recorded: draws and winning postcodes are listed in their “Lottery Results” archive. (Lottery)
- The absence of “CH65 6QS” (or other Ellesmere Port postcodes) in recent draws suggests no recent public win for that postcode.
Conclusion — What we know, and What is Still Unclear
- We know that PPL has produced winners in Ellesmere Port before (e.g., 2022).
- But we cannot confirm the claim that an “Ellesmere Port street” recently won £1,000 per ticket — no credible public record supports that.
- The claim likely stems from a social‑media post or unverified source — which is insufficient for confirmation.]
- Good question. I looked into whether there is any credible “case study + comments” evidence that a street in Ellesmere Port recently “landed £1,000 per ticket” in the People’s Postcode Lottery (PPL), and here’s what I found — plus where the claim seems to fall short.
What is documented about Ellesmere Port + past PPL wins
- According to one summary of past PPL wins, residents in Ellesmere Port with postcode “CH65 6QS” reportedly won £1,000 each. (thefreelibrary.com)
- That report mentions the win took place in April 2022 for people living on “Thamesdale in Whitby” (a part of Ellesmere Port). (thefreelibrary.com)
So: yes — there is at least one recorded instance where an Ellesmere Port postcode was publicly listed among winners of a PPL draw, with £1,000 paid per ticket to those with that postcode.
What’s not confirmed — and what recent data says
- I checked the publicly available PPL “winning streets / daily draw” archives for 2024–2025: the postcode “CH65 6QS” (or any variation from Ellesmere Port) does not appear in recent daily or weekly winner lists. (Yahoo News UK)
- The latest overall list of winning postcodes (checked 2025‑12‑09) shows a different Ellesmere Port postcode “CH65 5DP” as a recent daily winner. (Lottery)
- However, there is no public media article or “winner’s story” connected to that daily win — no interviews, no photos, no quoted reactions from residents — which suggests if the win occurred, it did not result in a widely published “success story.”
- I found no recent credible news report describing “an Ellesmere Port street lands £1,000 per ticket” — nothing from major local news outlets, lottery‑press releases, or community journalism in 2024 or 2025.
What this means — On “Case Studies & Comments”
Because:
- the only confirmed public record of an Ellesmere Port win is from 2022,
- there is no publicly documented testimonial or media coverage tied to any recent win in Ellesmere Port,
- recent draw‑lists show only a postcode win but no published “street celebration,”
It means that there is no verified recent “case study” with comments relating to Ellesmere Port — at least nothing publicly available as of now.
You might find:
- a data point: an Ellesmere Port postcode has appeared among winners (historically and possibly in a recent draw),
- but no qualitative follow‑up: no interviews, no case story, no neighbour quotes, no public celebration.
Thus — while the “£1,000 win” claim for Ellesmere Port is not impossible, it is not supported by a robust case study as you would expect for a “street‑celebrates” type of story.
What can be reliably stated — and what remains uncertain
Reliable:
- PPL pays daily £1,000 prizes; any postcode that wins means ticket‑holders there get that amount. (rs-pr.postcodelottery.co.uk)
- Ellesmere Port has been listed before among PPL winners (e.g. postcode CH65 6QS in 2022). (thefreelibrary.com)
Unverified / Lacking evidence:
- That a recent draw produced a publicly celebrated “Ellesmere Port street win.”
- That residents of that street spoke to media, or that there are shared stories, quotes or photos.
- That the claim currently circulating (if from social media or local rumour) corresponds to a genuine, documented event.
Bottom Line
While there is historical precedent for an Ellesmere Port postcode winning a PPL prize, I cannot find credible, up‑to‑date documentation that supports a recent “street‑wide £1,000 per ticket win” with accompanying case‑study style coverage (quotes, photos, celebrations).
