Free postcode lottery *******

guiriman

Same for here as for anywhere else in the UK, in fact BT codes seem to come up disproportionately as quite a lot of us seem to be signed up

My first thought was that I could write a program, maybe even just using IFTTT to automate the daily check.

My second thought was maybe someone else has...?

My third thought was what are the odds?
There are about 1,800,000 postcodes in UK so in a year about 1 in 5000 chance. The only slight fly in the ointment is that a postcode can house anything from 1 to 100 properties so you might find you're sharing the winnings. The bonuses might earn a few quid but as far as I can see you can only redeem the bonuses when you win the lottery - still on average you'll only wait 2500 years for a win and then those bonuses might add up to something worthwhile...

So my fourth thought was "what a waste of time" even if I did write the program.

My fifth thought was how could I leverage the free postcode lottery concept to my benefit some other way... A couple of ideas come to mind, I'll have to think about those a bit more.
