Postcode lottery - Who does it?

I guess not, assuming everyone else is also signed up.

not really worth it... only bother with the lottery if it is like a triple rollover - multiple raffle numbers Euromillions special

I need to be able to dream big before wasting my £2 on some massively long odds else the utility value isn't there for me

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

Wrong, for all the draws other than the monthly £3million draw (which is shared) the amount won is per ticket. So if your postcode is drawn to win £25k then all tickets in that postcode win £25k

Yes, they get £25k each. The only prize shared is the postcode millions.

I just cancelled after doing it for 12 months, had 3 £10 Sunday draw wins.

Edit; Beaten by seconds

If your Post Code starts with LL18 you're already a winner!

Use this to check your postcodes history, Some places are just luckier than others.

I signed up about two months ago!

Obviously I've not won anything yet and yes, their adverts really annoy me too.

But should I win and should they ever insist I partake in their promotional shizzle - then Benidorm would be the last place on Earth I'd ******* visit . . . . .

I do the Irish, Polish, German, 49s, etc, lottery bets at the bookies.

I've been doing it a while.... Not won anything but it's £10 a month.... I've only just got a job after nearly a year so it's been the best option for me.
