Postcode Lottery

[Fizbo]

Have you ever won anymore then £20 on the postcode lottery? Or know anyone that has? We've been signed up for a year and won £40 two £10 and a £20. I was talking to a colleague today who said she genuinely doesn't think there are legitimate big prizes despite the ads shown on tv.

I'm happy with our return, I think the odds are still better then the lottery, but just curious if anyone out there knows of a 'real' person winning?

Yes someone I know got 6k as did their whole street

I used to be signed up. Only ever won £10

About 3 months ago, 7 people who live round the corner from here won about £30k each. Also the mum of a woman I worked with won £25k about 4 years ago.

I however am like you. I did it for a couple of years and won £10 twice.

Many of our neighbours are quite selfish people, which puts me off playing this particular lottery, as I know that any prize would potentially be shared with them. I play the National Lottery sometimes but have never won more than £10. I don't mind though, as I know that lots of good causes are helped by lottery funding.

I won £5,500 soon after I signed up. That was 5 years ago

Someone who works with one of my family members won £30k he was on the adverts and looked so miserable!

I quit it after a year as I had only ever won one £15 deposit in my account. At £10 a month that was a £105 loss.

They called me and tried to get me to stay, reminding me that I'd won £60 over that time. I had no idea. I checked the results and yes, I had won 4 x £15 however, I had only received £15 winnings. Once. That's it. I told them and sent bank statements as proof and they just said according to their records they had paid out and I would be missing out on the possibility of a big win if I cancelled!

My grandmother was quite pissed off a few years ago because she had considered doing it but decided against it then a lady down the street won a few thousand I think and of course because she hadn't signed up she didn't win.

OH won £1000 soon after he signed up, around Feb 2019. Nothing since, afaik, but perhaps a smaller prize he didn’t mention

A street in my city won about £170k per household a few years ago. It was in all the local papers.

I've only ever won £10/20 a few times.

I'm glad to hear of people winning and look forward to telling my colleague that it isn't a scam!

A relative of mine won 6k, as did her two neighbours

Many of our neighbours are quite selfish people, which puts me off playing this particular lottery, as I know that any prize would potentially be shared with them.

You only share it with others that have paid though. They don’t just get a freebie. So whether you play or not won’t stop them winning only you’ll get a share of you do.

Often wondered if the people who have the big wins tend to stay in their lucky street or move on to better houses with their money. If I won a large amount I think I'd move but improve my house if I won a few thousands
