Several Essex postcodes were lucky winners in the People's Postcode Lottery during October 2025. Residents across the county celebrated as their streets appeared among the prize-winning areas announced each day.
The People's Postcode Lottery is a subscription-based competition supporting charities while rewarding participants with cash prizes across the UK. Between Monday and Friday, twenty postcodes win £1,000 each. On Saturdays, players can share £1 million, and on Sundays, individual winners can receive £30,000.
From October 4 onward, winning postcodes in Essex were revealed daily. Local participants expressed joy and gratitude for their unexpected winnings.
"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."
This explanation from the official People's Postcode Lottery website outlines how prizes are distributed among participants each month.
