Postcode Lottery Group continues its remarkable trajectory of growth, further solidifying its position as one of the world’s largest private charity donors. In 2024, the Group surpassed expectations, achieving a total ticket sales turnover of €2.7 billion – a 7.7% increase from the previous year – demonstrating sustained growth across all its lotteries.
This success translates into an unprecedented €969 million in charitable funding, directly benefiting 440 long-term charity partners and thousands of community initiatives worldwide.
Since its foundation in 1989, the Group has raised an extraordinary €14.5 billion for good causes, creating a lasting impact across Europe and beyond.
With over 14.8 million subscriptions across five countries (currently the Netherlands, Great Britain, Sweden, Germany, and Norway) our unique lotteries serve as a fun, safe, and impactful form of community fundraising. Every month, our players ensure that vital resources reach those in need, acting as a force for good by strengthening communities and creating a better future. Neighbours win together, and communities locally and around the globe benefit from charity funding. This is what we call The Power of Postcodes: bringing people together to spread joy, brighten days, and change lives near and far.

With research showing huge potential for charity lottery fundraising, we look to continuing to invest and further increasing our support for charities large and small, local and national.
