But they could win a whopping £370,000 as it all depends on how many people in their area – TS5 7 in Middlesborough – have tickets.
The locals will find out the full postcode on Saturday, seeing them take home their cheques on Sunday.
People’s Postcode Lottery ambassador Judie McCourt will be at the event on Saturday to present winners with the good news in person.
She told TeesideLive said: “A massive congratulations to our players in Middlesbrough.
“I’m really excited to meet many of the winners in person and present them with a prize cheque of their own.
“The community will be buzzing with excitement right now and I can’t wait to celebrate with them on Saturday.”
It’s not unusual for people to win big in the People’s Postcode Lottery.
Six neighbours last month managed to nab £30,000, while others revealed they were going to do with their £70,000.
People’s Postcode Lottery costs £10 a month to play and there are guaranteed winners every day.
Punters play with their chosen postcode and are automatically entered into all draws.
Participants can play in daily, biweekly, and monthly draws, with jackpots of £1,000, £30,000, and £7.9 million.
The daily draw awards the money to one winner in a whopping 20 postcodes.
While the Saturday and Sunday draws provide the award to a player in one postcode.
The popular Lotto sees a minimum of 33% from each ticket go to charity.
It’s seen players of People’s Postcode Lottery raise more than a billion pounds for thousands of charities and local good causes.
