Who we are

The Postcode Lottery Format

The principle of the lottery is simple and the same for every country. The lottery number is based on the member’s postcode. Added to the postcode is a three-digit individual number.

Using the postcode means it’s not just one member who wins a prize but an entire street or neighbourhood. Collecting money for charities that are dedicated to people and nature is the central goal of all three postcode lotteries. Go to our charity lotteries

Winning together

Winning with the Postcode Lottery means winning together with your neighbours. The idea of winning together is strengthened by the other side of the lotteries: the distribution of proceeds to charities.
