Peoples Postcode Lottery

I have 'played' the Peoples Postcode Lottery for around 3 years. I won £10 the first 2 months after I joined and about 4 £10 in the rest of the time. On speaking with people at work, it became evident that everyone won £10 the 1st month, most won £10 in the first 2 months and then very few prizes after that. I am concerned about these statistics and wondered what other peoples experiences were?

Its exactly what it says it is a LOTTERY!
You have to be in it to win it. Obviously not everyone will win a big prize otherwise it would not work!
Stop playing and if your postcode comes up a a big winner then you will see you made a mistake. On the other hand you could play it for decades and never win big.
The main thing to remember is that it is Gambling and the first rule of Gambling is that if you cannot afford to lose it then do not do it!

Similar here. I've been playing for 3 years. I won £10 in the first 2 months of playing and 1 other £10. I've won nothing this year.Just because I disagree with you, doesn't mean I hate you. We need to understand this as a Society :beer:

I agree, it is a lottery BUT I think it is rather 'funny' that the majority of people win in the first month and then very little.0

In my opinion it is a "scummy" company but no evidence it is actually crooked - there are however many things that offer better possible returns for your bet than them.0
