Today I’m highlighting a fun and free way you may be able to boost your income in 2021. And all you have to do is check the website in question once a day to see if your postcode is a winner!

The website in question is called Pick My Postcode. They offer multiple chances to win every day – and back when they were called Free Postcode Lottery, I was lucky enough to win the main draw prize!

All you have to do to get started is visit the Pick My Postcode site and register with your email address and postcode.

The PMP Draws

Pick My Postcode have five draw categories, as follows:

1. Main Draw  Each day one postcode is picked at random for this draw, which has the biggest prizes. The main daily prize – which I was lucky enough to win – can be over £1,000. When I had my own win, the prize was £1,200, though as one other person in my postcode area also claimed, the prize was split between us. So I got £600 plus a small bonus (explained below) – not a life-changing amount, but certainly a day-changing one 😀
2. Video Draw – To see the winning postcode in this draw, you first have to watch a short video. Though to be honest I find that you just have to watch the ad that plays first and the winning postcode is then displayed – you don’t have to watch the whole of the video unless you want to. This draw pays a minimum of £50, with the prize rolling over to the next day if not claimed. I have seen up to £400 on offer in this draw.
3. Survey Draw – To see if you have won this draw, you first have to complete a very short survey (generally just one question). As with the Video Draw there is a minimum prize of £50 and it rolls over to the next day if unclaimed. When I checked today there was a £300 prize, so it must have rolled over for a few days previously.
4. Stackpot – The Stackpot lists a variable number of postcodes with £10 prizes for those claiming them. When I checked this morning there were 14 prizes up for grabs and one that had already been claimed (it is first come, first served with the Stackpot).
5. Bonus Draw – With the Bonus Draw there is a daily £5 prize, £10 prize and £20 prize. To be eligible you need to have built up a Bonus (see below) equal in value to the prize in question by visiting the site regularly. So to qualify for the £20 Bonus Draw, you need to have accumulated a Bonus worth at least £20 yourself.

All lottery prizes are tax-free, of course, in accordance with UK gambling laws.

Flash Draw and Bonus

Pick My Postcode also offers two additional ways to win prizes.

One is £5 Flash Draws. These appear at random on advertising spaces around the PMP website. They look like the sample image below. They appear to individual visitors at random. I have never seen one myself, but obviously it’s worth keeping an eye out for them. If you spot one, you just have to click to claim (it doesn’t matter about your postcode). The £5 prize is paid by PayPal as usual.

As for the Bonus, this is a sum of money that is added to your prize any time you win (with the exception of the £5 Flash prizes). It accrues over time as you visit the site. It increases by 1p for every new Main Draw, Survey Draw or Video Draw that you check. That may not sound much, but if you return to the site every day it soon adds up. My Bonus is up to £41.90 now!

• If you wish, you can boost your Bonus even more by referring friends and neighbours and taking up some of the offers that appear on the site.

It’s important to note that you can’t withdraw your Bonus until you win a prize. But even £10 in the Stackpot or £5 in the Bonus Draw will qualify. So if I were to win a £10 Stackpot or Bonus Draw  prize today, I would actually receive £10 plus £41.90 = £51.90. Another good feature is that your Bonus is added to your winnings every time you win a prize – it doesn’t reset to zero after a win.

I am not normally a great one for lotteries, but I make an exception for Pick My Postcode. As I said above, it’s free to enter, there are loads of prizes on offer, and the longer you go on playing, the bigger those prizes can become. And obviously, having previously won over £600 on the Main Draw myself, I know that it’s genuine and would love to win again!

Finally, if you still need further reassurances about the site, check out the reviews on the independent Trust Pilot website (average 4.8/5 stars, with 94% of people rating it ‘Excellent’).
