welsh1 Posted July 6, 2023 Report Share Posted July 6, 2023 Bloke at the end of my Mum's street won £20,000 he lives in a small row of 4 houses with a different street name and postcode even though they are all the same long street. I have had a few £20's and £10's but nothing for about 10 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon R Posted July 6, 2023 Report Share Posted July 6, 2023 I take part in a free daily Postcode Lottery. Never had a postcode within 20 miles - over the last four years. I don't see the point of the television version. It is more than the cost of the Euromillions, which I do enter. I don't want to win up to £100k. It wouldn't alter my lifestyle. I only enter the Euromillions so that I could give a life changing sum to my sons and friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dead eye alan Posted July 7, 2023 Report Share Posted July 7, 2023 Cancelled mine when it went up to £12, same as lotto stopped doing it when it went up to 2 quid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sutty2006 Posted July 7, 2023 Report Share Posted July 7, 2023 I’m amazed really that they even need to consider putting the price up, because I imagine their own profit margins are huge anyway. the wife play it. We have probably won a tenner 3/4 times in the 6 years we’ve been playing it. When you look at all the postcodes that win, it’s mainly big city postal codes all with similar codes. Probably those high rise flats that have lots of players involved. The more that are in the same postcode, the higher the chance of winning.

samboy Posted July 7, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2023 Perhaps if these lotteries made it a bit easier to win a few bob instead of being greedy they might attract a few more people and less would drop out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sutty2006 Posted July 7, 2023 Report Share Posted July 7, 2023 If you look at July 1st big win the postcode M24 struck it. There are loads of those postcodes listed for M24 and this is a fraction of the winners. That’s a Manchester code. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fern01 Posted July 7, 2023 Report Share Posted July 7, 2023 Lotteries are pretty much a tax on poor stupid people, many of which should be spending their money on more important things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
