In a letter sent out to subscribers, the People’s Postcode Lottery has said the change to customers' monthly subscription will be in effect for the May draws and onwards.

“It’s the first increase in almost 13 years. You don’t need to do anything, the change will be made automatically.

“As a result, we’ll be able to offer you an even better range of prizes while raising funds for the good causes you support. We hope you understand,” they wrote.

However the May draws will also see the introduction of a brand new prize.

“Every week, players in one postcode will win a share of £1 million. This is in addition to the monthly Postcode Millions prize and the announcement of prize-winning postcodes every day,” they said.

Every Monday to Friday, all players in 20 postcodes will win £1,000 per ticket. Every Saturday, one postcode will win a share of £1 million and every Sunday a prize of £30,000 is guaranteed per ticket in one postcode.

Every month will win a share of £3.2 million or more.

They also announced that there were more than 8.7 million winners in 2022 and “this year there will be even more.”

An extra £29 million has been added to the prize pot from May to December, taking the total to £175 million.
