Postcode lottery - Who does it?

wez130 · 19 May 2016 at 09:19

A friend of mine won £25k on the postcode lottery a few weeks ago, which has prompted me to start it, does anyone here do it and have any of you won?

Looks to be better odds than the normal one.

Had been considering it.

Those large cheques or the people who won?

The badly acted fake joy and surprise.

This.

And also it's a sad state of affairs, but even if I won £25k I still wouldn't be able to buy my (rented) flat. Hardly life changing money is it.

Is there such a thing - a free PC Lottery?

Yep, it's for things like insurance and NHS waiting lists.

No idea how the postcode lottery works but when I input my postcode whilst purchasing something there's a list displayed of at least a dozen local properties sharing exactly the same postcode as myself :confused:

It's blocked by our filtering at work but from a quick Google there is a "How does it work" page on their site I imagine that will explain all.

Taken from the website.

I might have a flutter, since our postcode has recently been created, there might not be a lot of households involved

The ticket is based on your postcode. Tickets cost £10 per month for 10 draws. Your ticket can win cash prizes every single day.

Draws

In the Saturday Street Prize draws, every ticket in one postcode wins £25,000. You play in two Saturday Street Prizes every weekend. Each day Monday to Friday, Daily Prize winning tickets in 5 different postcodes collect £1,000 each. In Postcode Millions, one lucky postcode sector shares a massive £3 Million prize. Every month, one winner drives away a BMW and tickets in the winner's postcode win £5,000 cheques. Monthly, tickets in one lucky postcode also win £5,000 Dream Holiday prizes.

Payment

You pay in advance by monthly direct debit, debit/credit card or PayPal payment. When you win, we transfer the money straight into your bank account.

I doubt I'm allowed to use my referral link, but here's the website.

Not exactly large amounts of money, but it's free!

So if your postcode is drawn to win £25k, everyone in that postcode gets £25k each?

I think if multiple people in your postcode sign up it'll be split between you.

So if you live in a massive block of flats you'll not get much at all?
