Post code lottery prize

14 replies

Have won a prize with postcode lottery; I have two tickets so should be two prizes. I’ve only ever won gift vouchers for shops like M&S before so winning a prize is new to me. I checked briefly when at work and there were lots of great things to choose from. Just looked again, and the only thing there is a book that I don’t want. Is that it/am I too late? What if someone else takes the book; does that mean all items gone? Any help appreciated.

Just wait and other things will become availble to choose. You have 2 months to choose.

Thanks @LorenzoCalzone I take it that means new stock comes back in then?

Yes my brother won recently and just waited until the shop had chocolates back in as that's all he was interested in.

I quite like choosing those prizes, I've had oven gloves, nice soaps and chocs.

I've had some decent stuff from the prize shop. The wireless headphones are good and the Tony's chocolate has come in really handy for Christmas stockings.

3 of my neighbours won £1M recently! Different postcode to me. We realised when we saw them filming!

Thanks everyone, I’ll wait until there are new things back in the shop. @BergamotAndCoconutoh that must be frustrating if it’s neighbours but different post codes. Here’s hoping for all of us 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

This is why I can't cancel my subscription now. Imagine if I did and then found out the postcode and neighbours had won.😂

@DancinOnTheCeilingoh I didn’t care as I don’t play and obviously not worth starting now 😝 I was just glad that our lovely old neighbours got to share as they were still playing at that address.

I won a rechargeable neck fan this week and it’s just arrived. Exciting!! I’m sat here trying it out. Not quite as good as winning the 1 mill, but a close second

I’ve had so far a picnic blanket, a £5 Markies voucher and today a £15 cash prize - I e only been playing a couple of months and I am happy so far

I joined last year in January and i won a prize last year ( chose a casserole dish!) and 3/4 cash prizes eg £10 or £15.

i’ve won bugger all since December.

Don’t pick the frying pan. It’s rubbish. Pick something better!

ALovelyPinkUnicorn · 21/08/2026 18:50

Don’t pick the pizza cutter either!

Thanks everyone. I went for a Pyrex measuring jug and a Joseph Joseph measuring cup set.
