The Postcode Lottery launched in the UK in 2005.
Players sign up with their postcodes and pay £12 per month to be automatically entered into all draws. Each month, winning postcodes are chosen at random and all participants sharing the postcode split the prize. Gaming magazine 1337 Games analysed the total number of Postcode Lottery wins in each area in the UK. The total number of wins was divided by the number of postcode districts in each area, to determine the areas that are most likely to win.
69 wins per postcode district; there are 16 in the area, which have each won the Postcode Lottery an average of 33.69 times. Just last year saw 18 neighbours win £31,250 each after a winning draw, with seven others winning £62,500 each. Next on the list is Blackpool, which has had an average of 33.13 Postcode Lottery wins in each of its eight postcode districts. Overall, the seaside town has had 265 wins. 2020 saw eight winners receive £30,000 each after their postcode was chosen.
