Currently on 4.99% of postcodes entered when it reaches 5% the daily prize will rise to £50 -if you are the signup that takes it to 5% you win £50 (if you followed a referral link that person gets £50 as well)

Not sure where you get that idea...
Only 1 postcode out of the last 10 days has been from the north, a Leeds one over a week ago. I notice far more Birmingham ones than any other but the Midlands is not the North.

Anything above DA is northern to me

agree with a lot of brummie ones though

FPL on Birmingham

Bolton is notBirmingham

There have also been a lot of winning postcodes that begin with ‘B’ which hasn’t escaped the notice of some of the more enthusiastic Facebook commenters. This is because Birmingham (B) is the country’s second most populous city. But then there are also a lot of other sizeable cities/towns beginning with B: Bristol (BS), Bath (BA), Bournemouth (BH), Blackburn (BB), Bradford (BD), Bolton (BL), Brighton (BN), and Belfast (BT). Just because it starts with ‘B’ doesn’t mean it’s Birmingham!

^^ I know that not all B postcodes are Birmingham!!! Although ones that JUST have a B ARE, and there have been 3 of those in the past 10 days I think!!

As well as Birmingham being the 2nd biggest city, it also has a massive post code area - possibly the biggest single one in the country? From my rough maths it covers nearly 50 miles from north to south, and 30 miles east to west.

As I said, just rough maths but it's about 50 miles from Milton Keynes to London, and think how many different post code areas are in between compared to just 1 with Birmingham!
