The Dorset postcodes that scooped prizes in the Postcode Lottery last month
Several postcodes across Dorset celebrated wins in the People’s Postcode Lottery during October 2025, including residents from Poole and Christchurch. Multiple streets across the county secured cash awards after their postcodes were drawn.
How the People’s Postcode Lottery works
The People’s Postcode Lottery is a subscription-based lottery designed to support charitable causes while offering participants a chance to win daily and weekly prizes throughout the UK.
- Daily draws award £1,000 to 20 different postcodes from Monday through Sunday.
- Saturday draws include the “Millionaire Street,” where participants share a £1 million prize.
"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."
According to the lottery’s website, if too few winning tickets exist within a particular postcode sector, prizes may be distributed to a wider area covering the entire postcode district.
Supporting charitable causes
At least 33% of each ticket’s price is donated to charity. Since its creation in 2005, the lottery has raised over £1.3 billion for more than 9,000 charities and community initiatives across the UK.
Dorset’s October 2025 winners
The winning Dorset postcodes were drawn throughout October 2025, bringing thousands of pounds in prize money to local residents. Streets in Poole and Christchurch were among those celebrating their good fortune.
