Being doing this for a while and am wondering if it's the right choice of lottery, does anyone know of any winners?

Yes!

Not me as I don't participate in it.

But 4 neighbours in my street won.

They won £10k per ticket, 2 had 2 tickets each, 2 had one ticket each.

Reading the small print on their ads, they just seem to enter you into the many small charity lotteries around the country, so you might as well just donate/play your local one and feel good that more of your money is going to the charity rather than to the GMTV woman in the adverts.

Looking at this link I'd stick with the National Lottery thanks.

Yes - our postcode won last year. I wasn't a player. Neighbours got £10k, my cousin's street shared £1million. There were 4 players down his street so £250k each.

Yes, but those statistics are terribly misleading. On the EuroMillions, whilst you have a higher chance of winning something, you have a much lesser chance of winning one of the larger prizes; whereas with the Postcode Lottery, you have a higher chance of winning one of the larger amounts.
