Overview
- Local outlets reported early-September winners including the BL2 5HU area in Breightmet and BB2 7DY on Edmonton Drive in Blackburn alongside other North East and Dorset postcodes.
- Players enter by using their postcode as a ticket and pay a reported £12.50 a month to be entered into every draw.
- The scheme guarantees 20 postcodes win £1,000 each day and runs larger regular draws such as the Saturday Millionaire Street and monthly Postcode Millions.
- A minimum of 33% of each ticket is allocated to charities, with players reported to have raised more than £1.7 billion for organisations including Maggie’s, Dogs Trust, NSPCC, Alzheimer’s Society and Mind.
- Gambling Act 2005 rules limit single-ticket payouts to 10% of draw proceeds up to £500,000, and multiple tickets multiply a player’s individual payout while winners and full results are posted on the Postcode Lottery website.
