Yes, Pick My Postcode is legit. It's a free UK daily postcode lottery that's been running since 2011 and has given away nearly £4 million to real winners. I've been signed up for years myself, and I've genuinely been paid out, more on that below.

Is Pick My Postcode legit?

Completely. There's no cost to join, no payment details needed, and no catch beyond remembering to check the site each day.

You can see past winners, current prize totals, and the rules clearly laid out on their website, everything about it is transparent. I've even emailed Chris, the owner, directly myself, he's a real person who replies, not some faceless operation.

Pick My Postcode isn't the same as Postcode Lottery

Worth clearing up, since the names are easy to confuse. Postcode Lottery (postcodelottery.co.uk) is a paid subscription lottery costing £12.50 a month. Pick My Postcode is completely different, entirely free, no subscription, no payment details, ever.

What is Pick My Postcode?

Sign up with your postcode, and you're automatically entered into several daily cash draws. The platform gives away more than £800 in total every day across its different draws, funded through advertising, surveys, and partnerships rather than any cost to you.

How Pick My Postcode works

Once you've registered, here's what you're entered into each day:

• Main Draw – the big one, £200 a day, rolling over if unclaimed
• Survey Draw – £50 a day, unlocked by answering a quick poll
• Video Draw – £50 a day, revealed after watching a short clip
• Stackpot Draws – £10 each, drawn twice a day at 9am and 9pm
• Bonus Draws – extra chances throughout the week

If your postcode is picked, you'll see a "Collect" button when you visit the site. You need to claim before the next draw or the prize rolls over, so it's worth checking daily or signing up for their reminder emails.

There's also a Golden Postcode Hunt that runs from time to time alongside these daily draws, more on that below.

Build up your bonus pot

There are a couple of ways to grow your bonus alongside the regular draws. You get 1p added to your bonus pot for each day you visit the Main Draw, Survey Draw, and Stackpot pages, and it also has a referral scheme, refer friends to sign up and you can earn up to £200 added to your bonus pot too.

Your bonus gets added on top whenever you do eventually win, so both are worth doing even though 1p a day sounds tiny, it adds up the longer you're signed up.

The Golden Postcode Hunt

From time to time, Pick My Postcode runs a Golden Postcode Hunt, thousands of hidden "Golden Postcodes" scattered across the UK. If you refer someone new who signs up during one of these hunts and they happen to live in one, you both instantly win £10 each, on top of the regular referral bonus.

I've actually won money this way myself, a couple of times now as the referrer when someone I referred turned out to live in a Golden Postcode. It's a nice surprise extra on top of everything else.

Pick My Postcode review: My honest experience

I've been signed up for years, and I know it's genuine because I've actually been paid, through the Golden Postcode Hunt above. Beyond my own experience, I regularly see other compers sharing their wins on social media too.

Still waiting for that big personal win myself, but it only takes a couple of seconds a day to check, and their reminder email nudges me every day so I never forget. Worth it for the price of admission, which is nothing.

If more than one person registers the same postcode, the prize gets split between everyone who claims, worth knowing so you're not expecting the full £200 solo if a neighbour's also signed up.

Tips to boost your chances

• Check every day, or turn on Pick My Postcode's reminder emails so you never miss a draw
• Encourage others nearby to sign up too, more entries from your postcode means more chances it gets picked
• Do the smaller draws as well as the main one, the video and survey draws are extra free chances
• Claim quickly once you've won, you only have until the next draw to collect
