Postcode Lottery is a subscription-based lottery which raises money for charities. Not only do players win cash prizes, but good causes also receive essential support.

A postcode works as a ticket. For £12.50 a month, neighbours entered into every prize draw and there are guaranteed winners every day. People play with their chosen postcode and are automatically entered into all draws.

Prizes include the weekly Millionaire Street prize and monthly £250,000 or Postcode Millions prizes.

If your postcode gets picked in the £250,000 prize, for example, every ticket in that postcode wins £250,000. Every day, there are £1,000 prizes to be won for every ticket in 20 postcodes. If you play with two tickets, you receive double the winning prize amount. 

Details of all the prizes players have the chance to win with a monthly subscription can be found here.
