How the Postcode Lottery Works
Participants in the People’s Postcode Lottery pay £12 a month, with each ticket granting automatic entry into every draw. A notable 33% of each entry fee goes directly to charitable causes, making it a win-win for players and communities alike.
As summer unfolds, Suffolk’s lucky winners are no doubt basking in more than just sunshine – thanks to the Postcode Lottery, they’re enjoying a welcome financial boost to brighten their days.
