Prizes

Your ticket plays for Prizes every day of the week.

• Every day, players in 20 postcodes each win £1,000 per ticket.
• Every Saturday players in one postcode win a share of £1 Million in our Millionaire Street prize.
• Every month, players could also win £250,000** for every ticket in one winning postcode, or one lucky postcode sector wins a share of our amazing Postcode Millions prize. On the rare occasion where there are not enough winning tickets in the postcode sector, the area may be expanded to the postcode district.

Every Saturday we announce a winning postcode sharing a £1 Million Millionaire Street prize. This prize will be split between tickets in the full winning postcode.

The maximum prize per ticket is 10% of the ticket sales for that draw, up to £500,000. If due to this statutory maximum prize limit the £1 Million cannot be fully shared in the full winning postcode, the balance will be shared by tickets in the surrounding postcode sector, and occasionally the larger postcode district. This means the £1 Million will be won in full each week.

For example, if there are four players in the full winning postcode, each holding one ticket, they would win £250,000 each (assuming over £2.5 Million worth of tickets have been sold in the draw).

For more information about how this works, please see section 2.6 of People's Postcode Lottery's Terms and Conditions.

A postcode sector is a wider geographical region than a postcode. For example, for postcode EH2 4ET the postcode sector is EH2 4 and the postcode district EH2.

Please see the Prize Draw Calendar page to see if a prize voucher is available in the next draw and the date when winners will be announced.

Players who have an email address on their People's Postcode Lottery account will be sent an email (including a voucher code to allow them to redeem their prize) when the winning postcodes are announced. Players without an email address will be sent a letter, arriving later that same week.

You have two months from the date on which your prize is announced to claim your e-Gift Card. Once claimed the validity will depend on the which retailer's Gift Card you have chosen.

Please note that this information relates to the e-Gift Card prize, and not the gift card reward which is available as part of our Refer A Friend scheme or player thank you programmes.

The expiry date for your voucher will be included in your winner notification. If you do not redeem your voucher by this date, your voucher will expire, and you will not be entitled to a new voucher code.

All winners receive one voucher code which can be redeemed for a prize per ticket played. This means if you play with two tickets you will be able to redeem your voucher for two prizes. When logging onto voucher.postcodelottery.co.uk it will be clear how many prizes you have left to redeem.

During any monthly draw we may include a prize of an e-Gift Card from a pre-selected range of national retailers. This is just one of many prizes that you have the chance to win with your monthly subscription. Check out all the Prizes that you have the chance to win. The amount of winning postcodes planned and the value of e-Gift Cards will be clearly advertised.

We're always keen to hear feedback from our players about the prizes available. If you would like to share your thoughts on the e-Gift Card, please Contact Us and speak with our Customer Experience team.

Please note that this information relates to the e-Gift Card prize, and not the gift card reward which is available as part of our Refer A Friend scheme or player thank you programmes.

In the April 2025 draws, one postcode sector will win a share of at least £12 Million in the April Postcode Millions, and in the December 2025 draws, there's a minimum of £18 Million to be shared in one postcode sector in the December Postcode Millions. A postcode sector is larger than a postcode. For example for the postcode EH2 4ET, the postcode sector is EH2 4.
