Several postcodes across Dorset, including areas in Poole and Christchurch, won thousands of pounds in the People’s Postcode Lottery in October 2025. Numerous streets throughout the county received prizes after their postcodes were selected in the draw.
The People’s Postcode Lottery is a subscription-based lottery designed to raise funds for charities while awarding cash prizes to people across the UK. Each day, from Monday to Sunday, 20 different postcodes win £1,000 each.
On Saturdays, players have the chance to win a share of £1 million during the Millionaire Street draw.
“Every month players in a postcode sector share £3.2 million or more. In this example, £1.6 million of this will be shared equally by tickets playing with the winning postcode, with the other £1.6 million being shared equally by tickets playing with the winning postcode sector. On the rare occasion where there are not enough winning tickets in the postcode sector, the area may be expanded to the postcode district.”
At least 33% of each ticket’s cost goes directly to charity. Since 2005, players have contributed over £1.3 billion to more than 9,000 charities and good causes.
