Has anyone had much luck with winnings? Just sat here dreaming of a win 😅🤣

I've never won any big prizes, but I've won quite a few small ones, like £20, £30, £2.75 which have amounted to about £270 over the last few months. I usually use my winnings to buy more tickets.

Bettalife · 30/11/2023 06:17

I won two pairs of socks last month.

Timeforallthecheese · 30/11/2023 06:24

Nothing but they did send me a £5 Marks and Spencer voucher this week as a thank you.

ebts · 30/11/2023 06:27

My late mother's friend won around eight grand some years ago.

GetYourBaublesOut · 30/11/2023 06:30

6 years. Approx £790 in cost.

About 5 x £10 in winnings.

Confused
HappyCamperTent · 30/11/2023 06:32

the lottery is tax for the stupid.

Matildatoldsuchdreadfullies · 30/11/2023 06:33

I’m going for the 165 million this weekend. Can’t be doing with anything less.

FestiveGrinch · 30/11/2023 08:14

@Bettalife I won socks too. Been doing it for a year and also won 2x£10 but that’s all sadly. I will do the National Lottery at Xmas but that’s my lot, otherwise I’m just throwing money away.

LittleBumblebee3 · 30/11/2023 13:04

😂 Glad it’s not just me. Although I’ve only played since May and had 3x£10 wins and won a box of wine glasses worth £40.

My postcode had never won until I started playing so I’m hoping that means nobody else plays it in my street and when the big cheque comes it’ll all just be for me 😂🤞🏼

Do Pick My Postcode instead. It’s free!

It does go to charity 🤷🏻‍♀️

GriseldaChop · 15/02/2024 16:04

I win £12.5k in 2009, I've had several £10 and a nice l'occitane hand wash since then.

Hereyoume · 15/02/2024 16:16

It's basically a con.

The commercials give the impression that if your postcode comes up you will win the jackpot. That's bollocks, most people only win £10.

FUBAR77 · 15/02/2024 16:21

So annoying though isn’t it as once you’re in you’re in! We joined almost a year ago and absolutely zilch as yet, but we can’t come out as I know what would happen…

Roselilly36 · 15/02/2024 16:50

A few £10,£20, and a couple of £5 m&s vouchers.

OlderGlaswegianLivingInDevon · 15/02/2024 16:56

The People's Postcode Lottery which is £12 a month
I have had 2 £10 wins, 2 years running around March time

or

Pick My Postcode which is free but much lower value cash prizes i.e. the main draw today is £200

Isseywith3witchycats · 15/02/2024 17:28

So far one £5 M&S voucher which i didnt even bother printing and one £10 win thats it

Itscatsallthewaydown · 15/02/2024 17:29

The prizes have really tailed off recently, however I did get a nearly out of date box of hotel chocolat last week

trubones · 15/02/2024 17:58

I won £1k, quite a few £10's, 2 gift vouchers. I know 2 other people who have won £1k as well.

whoscoatsthatjacket2012 · 15/02/2024 18:14

I've just won a prize. Get to choose from a list of stuff

Louisetopaz21 · 15/02/2024 18:16

Had loads of £10 and £2000 win only been playing for over a year. My husband has had 2 x £2000 wins and loads of £10 wins.

I've been in since August 2023 and have received 3x£10 plus an e-gift card for M&S which I used to offset some shopping in their foodhall- just scanned it with my groceries. I'll give it a year and will cancel if "returns" are low. 🌹

MoonWoman69 · 16/02/2024 09:37

I've had about 10 x £10 wins on the Peoples Postcode Lottery in about 4 years. Holding out for the big one! 🤣🤣🤣

mylifeisprettygood · 16/02/2024 09:50

I've won quite a few £10 and a couple of l'occitane gift sets. My mum won £1000 and two people I work with have won. One won a car and a few thousand and the others partner won quite a few thousand 🤷🏻‍♀️

Augustus40 · 16/02/2024 09:59

You can check your road for winnings history. There have been quite a few win tenners and somebody over a thousand.
