Not only do players win cash prizes, but good causes also receive essential support.

A participant’s postcode works as your ticket.

People play with their chosen postcode and are automatically entered into all draws.

Prizes include the weekly Millionaire Street prize and monthly £250,000 or Postcode Millions prizes.

If a postcode gets picked in the £250,000 prize, for example, every ticket in that postcode wins £250,000.

Every day, there are £1,000 prizes to be won for every ticket in 20 postcodes.

Anyone who plays with two tickets will receive double the winning prize amount.
