“I had the idea for a postcode lottery in September 2007 when I heard the term on a Radio 4 report about the NHS.
I was also inspired by milliondollarhomepage.com, and how advertising on the internet makes things free.
I’ve never been a fan of lotteries, and gambling in general, because the consumer almost always loses, so worked on the concept of a daily, ad-funded postcode lottery that scaled the prizes along with the audience.”
