A minimum of 32% of ticket sales goes directly to charities and players of People’s Postcode Lottery have raised £416 million to date for thousands of good causes in Great Britain and beyond. This draw was promoted by the Royal Voluntary Service, which has received over £8 million in funding from players.

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