Oh I see now, yes in fact I do remember reading something along those lines on the site a while back, it was an article about people moaning that certain postcode areas always seem to be picked, and the site owner explained that it was cos more people from those areas are registered. It makes sense now but still think it's a bit stupid to register yourself twice!

Yes, I remember people moaning about why BT postcodes kept coming up and why were people from Belfast winning so much. They didn't realise, clearly, that every single postcode in the whole of Northern Ireland begins with BT!

It is genuine though. I have an Aberdeen postcode (AB) and I won £80 not so long ago.:D

yes it was last week that the winner was disqualified, I remember reading it at the time and thinking "what on earth could you have to gain by registering twice"
Surely if you win, it just means you share the proceeds with yourself?!

I think they registered with two different postcodes - to give them more chance maybe?

EDIT: or maybe not, just reread it, maybe it was an honest error?

Anybody else getting TBC with a prize pot of £240 again, yet email says £20?
The email link goes to oneluckynumber which looks totally different from normal.
