So I was wondering.... all the tv adverts for the PPL it seems never show anyone who lives in a council estate, the houses/streets they show always seem to look like bought houses/new housing schemes. Does any postcodes that are council housing estates ever win?

     Its a mix of housing, you can check here for winning postcodes. Many don't go public so you would never see their house.

    Aspirational advertising.  Showing nice places that a lot of people would like to live in so they buy in to the lottery to improve their lot in life.  No different than the National Lottery showing people having holidays on big yachts.
