The Dorset postcodes that scooped prizes in the Postcode Lottery last month
Several postcodes across Dorset celebrated wins in the People’s Postcode Lottery during October 2025, with lucky players from Poole and Christchurch among the recipients. Thousands of pounds in prizes were distributed to homes across multiple streets in the county.
How the Postcode Lottery Works
The People’s Postcode Lottery is a subscription-based game that supports charities across the United Kingdom while awarding cash prizes to participants. Every day from Monday to Sunday, twenty different postcodes across the country each receive £1,000 prizes.
On Saturdays, one area takes part in the “Millionaire Street” draw, where players share a £1 million prize.
“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.”
Benefiting Charities Across the UK
At least 33% of every ticket sold goes to charitable causes. Since its inception in 2005, the lottery has raised over £1.3 billion for more than 9,000 charities and community projects across the United Kingdom.

Postcodes in Poole, Christchurch, and other Dorset areas were among those drawn for October’s prizes, resulting in multiple lucky winners and a welcome boost to their local neighborhoods.
