Several postcodes across Dorset, including areas in Poole and Christchurch, won cash prizes in the People’s Postcode Lottery last October. Multiple streets in the county celebrated after their postcodes were selected in the lottery draw.
The People’s Postcode Lottery is a subscription-based lottery that raises funds for charities while distributing cash prizes across the UK. Every day from Monday to Sunday, 20 different postcodes win £1,000 prizes. On Saturdays, players also get a chance to win a share of £1 million in 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 every ticket purchased goes directly to charity. Since its launch in 2005, the lottery has raised over £1.3 billion for more than 9,000 charities and good causes.
The following postcodes in Dorset were announced as winners during the October 2025 draw:
These locations share in the lottery's prize funds, celebrating their luck in the monthly draws.
