Postcode Lottery Group Information

At the Postcode Lottery Group, our goal is to turn every home’s postcode into a ticket for good. We want everyone to have the chance to win prizes with their neighbours, while contributing each month to a healthier, fairer and greener world. That’s what we call the Power of Postcodes. The support of almost 15 million Postcode Lottery players in the Netherlands, Sweden, Great Britain, Germany and Norway already benefits more than 500 major charities. Thousands of local good causes receive funding too. Their work is strengthening communities. Protecting nature. Investing in culture. Improving our health and well-being. Safeguarding human rights. The Postcode Lottery Group’s mission is to raise long-term and flexible funding so charities can achieve the maximum impact. Every day of the year, our players raise more than €2.5 million for good causes. In 2025, the total was €1 billion. And since the first Postcode Lottery was launched in the Netherlands in 1989, more than €15 billion has been donated to charities. The Postcode Lottery Group is a private company, fully owned by a non-profit foundation and headquartered in Amsterdam. We have been ranked as the third largest private donor in the world, following the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the Wellcome Trust. (World Charity Index, 2021).
