Process People 's Postcode Lottery is a subscription lottery. Players sign up to pay monthly in advance by direct debit, debit card or PayPal. There are ten draws each month with prizes every day. A player 's tickets are based on their playing postcode, which is most commonly their home postcode. A given postcode in Britain will usually represent a group of houses. If more than one resident has tickets in a winning postcode, all playing neighbours collect prizes. In accordance with restrictions under the Gambling Act 2005, the maximum amount which can be won by a single ticket is £ 400,000 or 10 % of the total draw proceeds. Beneficiaries A minimum of 32 % of the ticket price from players ' £ 10 monthly subscriptions goes to various trusts, which in turn provide funding to charities and community projects across Great Britain and internationally. Some £ 330 million has been donated. As an external lottery manager, People 's Postcode Lottery manages a number of society lotteries promoted by different charities.. Each month, specific trusts and charities are supported by the prize draws. Over 4,000 causes have received support.
