Apparently the statistics are such that you should only buy a lottery ticket on the day of the lottery. Your chances of winning the jackpot are less than the chance of being killed in an accident or natural causes over the preceding few days. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto
5 x FL2 4 manual + 1 auto

Congratulations!

I won the UK postcode lottery last month. I had visions of their PR team handing over giant size cheques. They just put the £10 in my account instead. driving on the right side

Won a couple of £10 prizes on the Postcode lottery but yet to have the team in the red jackets turn up and present the cheque.
I'm just hoping the 'big money' win turns up here and I'm the only one in the postcode that's playing, so it's all mine. Single finger to them all and out of here

well a pal of mine at work few years back won over 10 mil on a Wednesday lucky dip.
Needless to say he never returned to work and did spend all his time travelling the world and cruises so must be frustrating for him at the moment.

I remember back in the 90's when Camelot started the first Lottery. A guy at work read somewhere that if you buy 57 tickets you were virtually assured that one would win. He did and it worked. Unfortunately he spent £57 on tickets and only won £10. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto

Postcode lottery is a scam.

I tried it for a couple of years and like you only ever won £10 twice.

If you try and opt out, they try every trick to retain you and keep you on the phone for ages.
I expect they get loads of people trying to opt out of ther direct debits, so they keep advertising it on the TV to get more mugs to sign up.

Can you explain this? I can't see how which day you buy your ticket can make a difference.

It is a 100% certainty that you will die at some point in the future but hopefully a very small risk that you will die in the next couple of minutes. The further away your lottery win, the higher the risk that you will be dead before you win. At some point your probability of winning the lottery becomes lower than your probability of being dead by then. So the nearer to the draw that you buy your ticket, the higher the chance that you will be alive to enjoy the cash. 2005 D3 2.7 Auto

I got one, too, but with an initial that is one step higher up the alphabet, I got twice the money... clearly the draw is rigged in favour of the Andrews, Alec’s etc...or perhaps even the Ernies! 2005 D3 2.7 Auto
