Several postcodes across Dorset, including Poole and Christchurch, won thousands of pounds in the People's Postcode Lottery in October 2025. Multiple streets throughout the county celebrated prizes after their postcodes were drawn.
The People's Postcode Lottery is a subscription-based lottery designed to raise funds for charities while awarding cash prizes to homes across the UK. Every day, Monday through Sunday, £1,000 prizes are given to 20 different postcodes nationwide.
On Saturdays, players also have the chance to win a share of £1 million through 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."
A minimum of 33% from each ticket goes directly to charity. Since 2005, the lottery has raised over £1.3 billion for more than 9,000 charities and good causes.
