People's Postcode Lottery manages multiple society lotteries promoted by different charities and good causes.

A minimum of 32 per cent of ticket sales from the lottery goes straight to charities.

So far, lottery players have raised more than £500 million for good causes across Britain.

This draw was promoted by Amnesty International UK which has received over £8.1 million in funding from the players of People’s Postcode Lottery.

Many good causes close to the winners have also benefitted from players' support, and local charities can next apply for funding in August.

It costs £10 a month to play and winning postcodes are announced everyday.
