Postcode Lottery Group
Lotteries for a better world
The Postcode Lottery Group’s primary aim is to raise funds for good causes locally and globally. It combines business with ideals by setting up and running successful charity lotteries.
The unique Postcode Lottery format uses postcodes as ticket numbers. Neighbours play together, win together and help good causes together. It’s a fun and safe way for communities to fundraise. There are already more than 14 million subscribers in the Netherlands, Sweden, Great Britain, Germany and Norway. Further growth in these countries, and future expansion into new markets, will allow millions more to show the power of postcodes by helping to build a healthier, fairer and greener world.
Postcode Lottery Group executive board members:

Research published in 2021 named Postcode Lottery Group as the world's third largest private charity donor, after the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
