How Many of My Neighbours Are in the Postcode Lottery?

The Postcode Lottery has a very unique and interesting structure. It is a subscription lottery that raises money for different charities. This doesn’t mean that players don't win big prizes, but good causes also receive much-needed support.

You can sign up with your postcode and pay $10 per month, after which you will be automatically enrolled in every draw. Prizes from the Postcode Lottery are announced every day of the month. It is important to note that 33% of the ticket prices go to charities, so if you participate, you know that you are helping a good cause every day of the week.

How to Buy Postcode Lottery Tickets

It is very simple to purchase Postcode Lottery tickets, and you can use a couple of options here. First, sign up on the People’s Postcode Lottery’s official website.

Alternatively, you can buy tickets by contacting the freephone telephone number listed on the Postcode Lottery’s website. The experienced customer support team will guide you through the process, and they will set up your monthly subscription.

Keep in mind that you cannot buy lottery tickets for just one draw, as the minimum subscription is for one month, and it costs $10.

What Can I Win?

Once you sign up for the monthly Postcode Lottery competition, your ticket will play for prizes every day of the week. There are several prizes that you can win if you decide to participate:

• Saturday Street or Sunday Street Prize – here, you play for a $30,000 prize on both Saturday and Sunday

• Daily prize – this means that you can be the winner every day, as your ticket can win $1,000 daily

• Thursdays – every Thursday, each ticket in 1,000 postcodes will get a $10 prize

• Monthly – by subscribing every month, you will be in the running for Postcode Millions, in which your ticket will play for a share of $3 million and above, which is just astonishing

How Will I Know That I Have Won?

If you have your email address on your Postcode Lottery account, you will be sent an email that includes the voucher code which will help you redeem your prize, when the winning postcodes are announced.

On the other side, if you have not listed your email address, you will be sent a letter which will arrive that same week and it will notify you that you have won a prize. Moreover, you can also use the following options to check the results:

• You can check the Lottery Results on the website

• You can call on the freephone number listed on the Postcode website

In all cases, there is no way you won't be notified if you secure a winning ticket, but we recommend you register an email address and keep your personal information up to date. This way, you can ensure that you are instantly notified whenever you secure a win. If you want an update on your contact details, you can always contact the Customer Experienced staff at any time.

Whole Neighbourhoods Can Win Prizes

Just recently hundreds of residents in one small Welsh town won thousands in a multi-million postcode lottery.

435 residents in Rhymney won their share of the giant $3.7 million Postcode Lottery prize after their postcode was revealed as the winning one during the draw. From the 435 residents, 9 neighbours shared the largest portion of the prize as their postcode was named as the full winning one.
