Hampshire Block of Flats Celebrates Huge Postcode Lottery Win

A block of flats in the Hampshire town of Havant celebrated after several residents won large prizes in the Postcode Lottery Millionaire Street draw in November 2025. The Postcode Lottery is a subscription-based lottery designed to raise funds for charities across the UK, while offering cash prizes to participants.

Lottery Prizes and Winning Details

The lottery offers £1,000 prizes to 20 different postcodes across the UK from Monday to Friday and Sunday. On Saturdays, players compete for a share of £1 million. This month, a nine-storey block of flats in Havant with the postcode PO9 2LD experienced a major win, with four residents sharing the £1 million prize, each receiving £250,000.

Winner’s Story

One of the winners, Juliette, nearly missed out as she had planned to cancel her lottery subscription while clearing out her direct debits. However, focused on a promotion at work, she forgot to stop her payments.

“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.”

Plans for the Winnings

Juliette shared that she plans to use some of her winnings to upgrade her car and travel to the Maldives.
