Several postcodes across Dorset claimed prizes in the People's Postcode Lottery during October 2025, including wins in Poole and Christchurch. Residents from multiple streets in the county celebrated after their postcodes were drawn.
The People’s Postcode Lottery is a subscription-based game designed to raise funds for charities while also awarding cash prizes to players across the UK. Every day from Monday to Sunday, twenty different postcodes each win £1,000.
On Saturdays, participating players can share an additional £1 million prize, known as the “Millionaire Street” draw.
“Every month players in a postcode sector share £3.2 million or more,” the People's Postcode Lottery website states. “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 to charity, and since 2005, players have contributed over £1.3 billion to more than 9,000 charitable organizations and good causes.
The following Dorset areas celebrated wins last month, as their postcodes were drawn in October’s lottery results.
