Danyl said: “What a brilliant way to start the week!
"Congratulations to our winners.”
A minimum of 32 per cent of ticket sales go directly to charities and People’s Postcode Lottery players have raised over £500m to date for thousands of good causes in the UK and beyond.
The draw yesterday was promoted by Oxfam which has received more than £9m from the lottery.
Charities can apply for funding from the lottery in August.
