Several postcodes across Dorset celebrated winning prizes in the People's Postcode Lottery in October 2025, including addresses in Poole and Christchurch. Multiple streets across the county secured winnings after their postcodes were selected in the draw.
The People’s Postcode Lottery is a subscription-based lottery designed to fund charitable causes while awarding cash prizes to households throughout the UK. Each day from Monday to Sunday, 20 different postcodes win £1,000 prizes.
On Saturdays, participants have the chance to share a £1 million prize, known as the “Millionaire Street.”
“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’s cost is donated to charity. Since 2005, players have contributed over £1.3 billion to more than 9,000 charities and community projects across the UK.
The full list of Dorset’s winning postcodes for October 2025, arranged by their draw dates, includes areas across Poole, Christchurch, and other parts of the county.
