Dorset Postcode Lottery Winners April 2026: Full List of £1,000 Prize Areas

Some Dorset postcodes had a lucky streak in April 2026, picking up £1,000 prizes through the People’s Postcode Lottery.

It was a pretty exciting month across the region, especially in Bournemouth, which ended up with the most wins.

🎉 What is the People’s Postcode Lottery?

The People’s Postcode Lottery is a subscription-based draw that helps raise money for charities while giving people across the UK a chance to win cash prizes.

Here’s how it works in simple terms:

• 💷 Every day (Monday to Sunday), 20 postcodes win £1,000 each
• 💰 On Saturdays, players can win a share of £1 million in the “Millionaire Street” draw
• 🏆 In most months (except April and December), one lucky postcode can win a massive £250,000 shared prize
• 💛 At least 33% of every ticket goes to charity

If you play more than one ticket, your winnings increase too. For example, two tickets means double the prize if you win.

The lottery has already helped raise over £1.7 billion for charities like Maggie’s, Alzheimer’s Society, Dogs Trust, Mind, and NSPCC.

💥 Big Prize Moments Explained

The lottery also notes some important details:

• A postcode sector is bigger than a single postcode (for example, EH2 4ET belongs to the EH2 4 sector)
• In special draws like April and December, even bigger “Postcode Millions” prizes can be shared across one lucky sector
• The maximum a single ticket can win is capped at £500,000, depending on draw proceeds
