Several postcodes across Dorset, including areas in Poole and Christchurch, won thousands of pounds in the People's Postcode Lottery during October 2025. Multiple streets in the county saw their postcodes drawn as winning entries.
The People's Postcode Lottery is a subscription-based lottery aiming to raise funds for charities while awarding cash prizes to UK households. From Monday to Sunday, 20 different postcodes win £1,000 each daily. On Saturdays, players can compete for 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."
At least 33% of each ticket's cost goes directly to charity. Since 2005, players have raised over £1.3 billion for more than 9,000 charities and good causes nationwide.
