"The players of the Postcode Lottery have raised a total of £18.7m for the NSPCC and this transformational support enables us to explore new ideas, test innovative models of intervention, and refine our practices based on evidence and lived experience.
This funding is vital for the NSPCC’s ability to deliver meaningful, lasting change for children across the UK. The NSPCC takes great pride in our ability to listen to children, and it is the support from the players of the Postcode Lottery that enables us to provide children with the space and time they need to share their vital views and insights about the world around them.
Without this support, we would not be able to bring the voice of children right to the heart of the organisation, ensuring our strategy develops and adapts based on the real needs of children and young people."
Our winning postcodes are selected via random draws using software which has been certified by a Gambling Commission-approved testing house. The software uses a random number generator to pick out winning postcodes from the postcodes players have bought a ticket to enter.
20 draws are conducted each month with an independent adjudicator present, usually on the first Wednesday of the month. The winning postcodes are then announced on a daily basis as shown in the Prize Draw Calendar. Only playing postcodes (or valid tickets) are entered into our draws. So, there's always a guaranteed winner for every prize.
The prizes advertised are drawn first. If, because of the number of players in the winning postcodes, this amounts to less than the Prize Percentage we will usually keep drawing more postcodes to win more £15 prizes. On occasion after all advertised prizes have been drawn, any remaining money from the Prize Percentage of ticket sales is carried forward to be won in future draws by the same promoting society. The Prize Percentage is the percentage allocated to prizes in a draw - which will be up to 40% and no less than 35% of the money raised through ticket sales for that draw. Currently, the Prize Percentage is 40%.
We announce winning postcodes every single day! Check out the Prizes you can win with your Postcode Lottery ticket.
