Several postcodes across Dorset won prizes in the People's Postcode Lottery during October 2025. Among the lucky areas were Poole and Christchurch, with multiple streets across the county celebrating their winning draws.
The People’s Postcode Lottery is a subscription-based lottery that raises funds for charities while awarding cash prizes to participants throughout the UK. Every day of the week, twenty different postcodes can each win £1,000.
On Saturdays, players have a chance to share a £1 million "Millionaire Street" prize. Over its history, the lottery has distributed significant funds to players and charitable causes alike.
"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 cost supports charitable organizations. Since 2005, players have helped raise over £1.3 billion for more than 9,000 charities and community initiatives throughout the UK.
The Dorset postcodes that won in October 2025 included several across Poole and Christchurch. Many residents received prizes of thousands of pounds as part of the regular weekly and monthly draws.
