Several postcodes across Dorset—including those in Poole and Christchurch—won thousands of pounds in the People's Postcode Lottery during October 2025. Multiple streets in the county celebrated prize wins after their postcodes were drawn.
The People’s Postcode Lottery is a subscription service that raises funds for charities while awarding cash prizes to homes across the UK. Each day from Monday to Sunday, 20 different postcodes win £1,000 prizes.
"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 each ticket purchased goes directly to charity. Since 2005, players have raised more than £1.3 billion for over 9,000 charities and good causes.
Below is the list of Dorset winners of the Postcode Lottery in October 2025, shown in the order of the draw:
