Slough Street Strikes Gold in Postcode Lottery Jackpot
So, something pretty amazing happened this past week—and if you live in the winning postcode, it might’ve just changed your life. Between July 19 and 25, more than £1 million was won across the UK through the People’s Postcode Lottery. But the biggest buzz was around one street in Slough where six very lucky residents shared a jaw-dropping £1 million prize.
Now, here’s how it works: to play, you register your postcode and pay £12.25 per month. Every day, prizes are drawn, with some lucky players winning £1,000 or more. And every week, there’s a bigger prize—what they call the “Millionaire Street” draw.

This week, that Millionaire Street was SL1 6EZ in Slough. Each of the six winners on that street received £166,666. Just imagine getting that call! One of the winners, Nikki Long, was completely floored. She said she was hoping for maybe £1,000—a weekend getaway at most. Instead, she ended up with enough to book not just one, but multiple dream holidays. Maldives, Rome—you name it, she’s thinking of doing it all. But she's also planning to be sensible once the excitement settles.
And it wasn’t just Nikki. Another resident, Ucal McLeod, also scooped the £166,666 prize. He said it’s allowed him to fast-track his three-year plan, whatever that may be. Even though retirement isn’t quite on the cards yet—he enjoys working too much—it’s clear this win gives him and his partner Pauline some serious breathing room. They’ve even hinted it could help them finally plan that long-awaited wedding after 22 years together. No rush, though—they’re just soaking it in for now.
Beyond Slough, the winnings were spread all over the UK. Postcodes in places like Leigh and Moreton also celebrated wins of £1,000 each. It’s not quite six figures, but still a lovely surprise to get in your letterbox.
The People’s Postcode Lottery has been running since 2005 and has raised more than £1.3 billion for charities—yes, billion with a “b.” That’s because 33% of every ticket goes to good causes. So, even if you don’t win big, you’re still helping someone else.
So, if your neighbour suddenly starts planning a luxury holiday or has a mysterious glow about them, you might want to ask if they’ve checked their postcode lately.
