Dunfermline Street Lands £52,631 Per Ticket as Postcode Lottery Names Week’s Winners

The week’s results show how shared postcodes create community payouts.

Overview

  • KY11 8GW in Dunfermline took the Millionaire Street prize, paying £52,631 per ticket to 17 neighbours, with one player trebling their win by holding three tickets.
  • Daily £1,000 prizes also went to Essex postcodes, including CO15 2HZ, CO6 1JS, CO6 4HN, RM15 6HZ, RM17 6WD and SS5 6HW.
  • Seven North East postcodes won £1,000 each, with winners named in Coxhoe (DH6 4SG), Yarm (TS15 9EN), Hartlepool, Sunderland, Newcastle, Whitby and Malton.
  • The lottery uses a subscription where players enter by postcode for about £12.25 to £12.50 a month, and daily draws pick 20 postcodes that each pay £1,000 per ticket alongside larger weekly and monthly jackpots.
  • About a third of each ticket funds charities, and the organisation reports raising more than £1 billion for good causes since 2005.
