A block of flats in [translate: Hampshire], in the town of [translate: Havant], has celebrated after several residents won significant prizes in the Postcode Lottery Millionaire Street draw in November 2025.
The Postcode Lottery is a subscription-based game that raises funds for charities across the UK while offering cash prizes to participating homes. From Monday to Friday and on Sundays, there are multiple £1,000 prizes available for 20 different postcodes nationwide. On Saturdays, players compete for a share of the £1 million jackpot.
This month, a nine-storey block of flats in Havant with the postcode [translate: PO9 2LD] won the £1 million prize, which was equally divided among four residents. Each winner received £250,000.
“I was going to cancel a couple of months back, but I’m really bad at personal stuff. I was going through direct debits and bits and pieces. Promotion came up at work and I’ve been working for that for the last two months and never got round to it."
Juliette, one of the four winners and a project manager, almost missed out on the prize since she had planned to stop her lottery payments while managing her subscriptions but forgot due to focusing on a promotion at work.
Juliette intends to use some of her winnings to upgrade her car and travel to the Maldives.
