Several postcodes across Dorset, including areas in Poole and Christchurch, won thousands of pounds in the People's Postcode Lottery last October. Multiple streets throughout the county were rewarded after their postcodes were drawn.
This subscription lottery supports charity fundraising and awards cash prizes to homes across the UK. Each day, from Monday to Sunday, 20 different postcodes win a £1,000 prize. On Saturdays, participants can also compete for a share of £1 million in the Millionaire Street draw.
The People's Postcode Lottery website says: "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 every ticket sold goes directly to charity. Since 2005, players have raised over £1.3 billion for more than 9,000 charities and good causes.
Below is the full list of Dorset postcode winners in the Postcode Lottery for October 2025, organized by the date they were drawn:
"The People's Postcode Lottery is designed to support charitable causes while giving local communities the chance to win significant prizes."
Summary: The October 2025 Postcode Lottery saw many Dorset postcodes, especially in Poole and Christchurch, win substantial prizes, contributing to charity fundraising exceeding £1.3 billion since 2005.
