On PMP I joined on 20th October 2017, I've never had a win (£49 bonus now).
Checking back over the years this postcode has won something 5 times (this year) then 2, 2, 1, 5 ,5
"It isn’t possible to predict the likelihood of winning a prize in the future draws as this depends on the number of postcodes and tickets entered into the draws and this can vary. As a guide, these are details of winners from previous draws:
In the October draws 16.5% of playing postcodes won a prize."
In other words 1 in 6 playing postcodes won a prize in October
and for December
Estimated max possible ticket prize in the December millions draw is £462,000
