Frequently Asked Questions
What is Free Postcode Lottery?
It's a lottery but you don't have to buy tickets. You just tell us your postcode and if it is drawn you win money. You can only collect by visiting the site, but don't worry, we can remind you.
Rules of the Free Postcode Lottery.
If I win how do I claim?
A speech bubble appears with a large 'Collect' button.
Do I have to re-enter each draw?
No. Once you have entered once, you will be entered every day. You will still need to check the site to see if you have won though.
How can it be free to enter?
The prize money is generated by ad revenue on the site, which is itself generated by the traffic caused by users checking the draw to see if they've won.
How do I collect my winnings.
If your postcode is drawn and you visit the site to collect, you will be asked for your bank account details so the money can be transferred online. If you are not happy giving your bank account details you can have the money sent as Amazon e-vouchers.
Can I register more than once?
No. In order to keep the lottery fair we insist that you only register one email and postcode. Anyone found breaking this rule will be permanently disqualified from playing. We are constantly monitoring entries and may disqualify suspicious entries without notifying you.
Can I register on someone else's behalf?
No, whilst that would be very kind of you to do so we cannot allow this as this leaves us open to abuse and we cannot allow users to register other people's personal data onsite. If you would like someone to enter please ask them to do so themselves. Again, anyone found breaking this rule will be permanently disqualified from playing.
What's in it for us?
Any money that we make in excess of the money that we give away is currently going towards recovering the losses that we made when the revenue was too low to fully fund the daily prize. The hope is that one day we may make some profit.

Still wondering why a large majority of winners have low bonus which, I presume means they have very recently joined. A lot of us have been with you a long time. Could there also be some provision for those of us that don’t belong to twitter or facebook please. Ta.
Hi. The reason is simple (yet annoying – especially for me). There are loads of users who registered but are not receiving reminders (because idiots are still marking them as spam). These people become inactive but their postcodes are still entered. As you’d expect these people are winning (because there are so many of them) but are not claiming. Indeed, if someone with a very low bonus claimed I would be very suspicious (if they hadn’t recently registered). There is no preference given to anyone. All entries have equal chance of winning. Sorry, not sure what you mean by ‘provision for those of us that don’t belong to twitter or facebook’. Hope that helps. Chris
