Another few yars of this to go yet. Buckle up.

What a domineering, rapacious bully he comes across as. So capricious too. I bet psychologists have a field day analysing his numerous crazy traits.

Omg .... it went on and on and on ..... perfect background noise to for doing surveys.

Totally self deprecating and self indulgent and self obsessed and self absorbed and self centered .... you get the picture.

🙅‍♂️🙆‍♂️💁‍♂️🙋‍♂️🧏‍♂️🙇‍♂️🤦‍♂️

I haven't got time for the orange one, but one thing he is right about. The Chagos islands, should never have been given to Mauritius. Why didn't the Gov just sort it out with the indigenous Chagos people.Now it will cost us billions

He's like a petulant schoolboy, stamping his feet because he didn't win the prize and vowing to get his own back.

Apparently he is incapable of sticking to a written speech so all the drivel comes out of his head. If it was anyone else they would have been sectioned.

Is he getting worse? Mentally? Who is writing the drivel he speaks?

It's really about time the 25th amendment was invoked.

Thank you. I've added your details to the bullet point on the snag list about this.

It's been like that since the new site launched, I mentioned it previously so it might already be on the snag list.

The Mini Draw only changes 'LastWinning Postcaode) at 6pm when it puts up the new code and then changes the 'Last ....' entry.

🧙‍♂️🧑‍🦯🤣

Hi Em, thank you so much for your reply I feel so privileged awesome.

After 6pm and all is well it must be a time thing, I will check after 2am to see.

ASUS Vivobook Windows 11 Chrome.

Luv you guys.

It's the same for me. I'm using Google Chrome on a Nokia G42 mobile phone.

It's not just you Russell, I have just scrolled down to check myself and as of 16:40 on 20th Jan it's showing "Last winning postcode EN8 8SW" for me too. I'll put this on Tech's snag list.

What is your device make & model and which browser are you using please? I'll be putting my own details on there.

Hi, I may have an update problem - or a brain default.

Now Tue 20/01 @ 16-29 the 6PM mini draw is showing last winner as EN8 8SW which was drawn on Sun 18/01 - not CB23 7DD as should be from last night.

This seems to be a regular event and is confusing as I check every eve after 6PM. is it a 24hr thing ? or have I finally lost my marbles?

Thank you.

Thanks FlowerPower for your tips. I've C&P'd them for future ref. In the meantime, all seems normal again as it has loaded ok tonight.

Marie, i'll do as you have requested if it happens again.

This issue is on Tech's snag list, Titchy. Please let us know your device make & model and browser details (and send a screenshot if you are able) and we will add the information to the bullet point for them. Thank you.

Yes. a fair few people. Have you tried clicking on ‘Bonus Leader Board’ in the dark blue line above headed: ‘More from us’ ?

If that doesn’t work there’s another link near the bottom of the page- it has a Let’s be Friends link- again click on Bonus Leader Board - on iPad it’s just above the Mini Draw.

Hope 1 or other will work for you Titchy, if not contact admin to let them know device, browser etc.

Hurricane, you do get Amazon Music included with Prime, but this is only the standard version and is shuffle only. Unlimited offers higher quality sound and is not shuffle only, amongst other things. Check your account to see which one you are on.

Marie, would you please confirm one thing for me, I’m sure I’m paying for Amazon music extra to Amazon prime, is music included with Prime cuz if it is then I’m about 2 yrs out of pocket on my music purchases?

The offer was for Amazon Music Unlimited, which is a more premium offering than the standard Amazon Music you get free with Prime and is not free for Prime members.

When I checked out the Audible offer- that only had the free 3 months for prime members or 99p a month for 3 months if you aren’t.

Looks like they’re trying to get more of us to use A. prime.

Thank you.

There is a Temu ad just before the Mini draw.

Sent info as requested Marie.

Not even the Temu sofa bed at the bottom?

Do you mean you have the grey empty boxes like other people have mentioned or nothing at all? Please send us a screenshot if you can, along with device make & model and browser details, so that we can add it to Tech's snag list.

If one postcode is entered more than once it is more likely to be selected (like names in a hat). If a certain postcode area (eg. BA1) appears to not win often that is because there aren’t many entries for that area. If a postcode area seems to win more often it must mean that there are more entries from that postcode area. Each postcode area comes up on average in line with its population size and the number of active accounts registered with it.

There is no geographical bias in the selection procedure. The computer doesn't know (or care) where anyone lives!

The system completes the draws from a database of active account ID numbers using a random number generator and the parameters of the smallest ID number to the largest. It then displays the postcode on the chosen account number as the winner of the draw. All it ‘sees’ is the account numbers of active members, it is not influenced by any other data or outside factors and is as random as a computer can be.

Do you check all 9 daily draws every day? Have you checked the Winner Results pages and the Winners Map?

Do you recognise the postcode areas that represent the largest populations?

If yes to all, just relax and keep checking for a possible win. 😊

Just means there are probably more people registered in those postcodes.

The draws are done from membership numbers and then the postcodes of those are shown.

Yes,🤦🏻‍♀️ thanks- I’ve altered it now

OK all. I misunderstood. Seen the light now.

This was removed as part of the redesign.

Flower power has understood me correctly.

It used to show how many were eligible for that draw…..when I got to the £20 bonus one, I was one of 4,000, last time I looked it was approaching 20,000

What JC_DCFC is meaning is how many people overall are eligible for each of the draws, it used to show but doesn’t now. Not how many can claim on that specific postcode.

I think it is shown. The £5 draw today is currently showing 1/1. That means the only person eligible has claimed. The first 1 is the number of claimants the second is how many are eligible.

@PA - point taken, but I never looked anyway. I am more interested in the postcode!

@The Octogenarian -

I'm not seeing them - for me, in the bottom right of each frame or block is the number of eligible winners and the number who have claimed, but there's nothing to say how many people are being entered into each draw, which I think is what JC_DCFC was pointing out.

They do. Bottom right of each block.

Good point, I hadn’t noticed until you posted.

Yes FP - it was a good run. Probably wont see any more for days or weeks. One was for Wales only.

With external surveys, you would have to meet the demographic requirements of their surveys. These can be anything such as gender, age bracket, location, employment, if you have children, etc. I can’t say when they will have more surveys available, you just have to be patient I’m afraid.

Wow, you’ve had a good run, I haven’t seen any of those recently, in-fact like many others It just repeatedly says ‘you’ve completed all the surveys’.

If you mean the PMP surveys in the blue box for £1, £2,or £3. I have completed 4 in the last few days.

The other surveys I don't do so I can't comment.

Toenails?

Sorry for the delay. Not a lot because I fell out of bed yesterday & I'm seelng the vet today.

Around 47 winners. You can check yourself on the Winners Results pages. 😊

Looks like there may not be that many members who have registered an ME13 postcode.

Incidentally, amount of bonus and time of checking have absolutely no influence on whether our registration number is drawn.

Otherwise the numerous members with many thousands in bonuses would have all won. 😆

are there ever any ME13 postcodes come up. my bonus is £95 and still no sign

Purplish anonymous above…you made two similar posts recently but don’t appear to have read the responses. I’ll repost just in case you return to this thread…

“Purplish anonymous, I think many members will be baffled by your post. Last year there were around 142 RG winners and 6 this month so far. You must be missing most of the draws? Do you check all 9 draws each day?

Having said that, past results have no bearing on the chances of you being drawn. You will be or you won’t…it’s a random draw.

Hope you haven’t missed a win, but even if you have, you could be drawn any day. 😊

I've been a member since 1st May 2011, and have only won a 'spot prize' £5 in all those years. Even when there was only a handful of members I had no luck. I'm curious to know if any of the other early members have won anything.

Almost 7 years here. Absolutely nothing. Strange coincidence (?) but the last time I said this on here about a week ago, they had a win the next day so here goes again.....not really worth it if you're in the RG postcode as it very rarely appears yet other area postcodes are on here all the time.

I have been faithful on this every day for 8 years not a sniff of my postcode! Wonder who's been on the longest?

U gotta be patient, I have been lucky to win a bonus draw one time, I guess now ima looking a good 2/3 years looking lol. It's so random though, anyway it's free 100% free. Happy days 🙏❤

The system completes the draws from a database of active account ID numbers using a random number generator and the parameters of the smallest ID number to the largest.

Members are free to use any valid postcode they wish. It doesn't have to be where they live.

My flabber is ghasted! Been in for years but don’t know what you joined? Never read the FAQ pages which cover everything?

No idea how the site works?

It’s not April 1st is it? Judging by the huge volume of Easter chocolates around, it could easily be!

https://help.pickmypostcode.com/article/14-how-are-winning-postcode-selected

It's actually not postcodes that are picked. The randomiser picks membership numbers and then postcodes are shown. Any feasible postcode is allowed, so may not be the member's home. Most people have never won. The craic and community support are good though.

Helloooo 👋

Hello to you too, Picklebubble.

If you are new, please take the time to familiarise yourself with the site and how it all works. Have a look at these to help you.

Hello 🤗

Glad you like it, Happy. You may still sometimes see an ad on the Stackpot list as I'm not sure if that slot has been removed or not.

@Pigs : Depends if it's daytime outside.

@Paul B : "similar vein" very good!

I thought it was mirrors and not windows that vampires avoid? 🐷😂

In a similar vein:-

Why must you never break wind in an Apple store?

Because there are no windows.

😊

I'm with Trevor on this one.

Shouldn't encourage Zombies to use their phone more than is absolutely necessary. Wish we could go back to phones being only for...phoning other people. ;D

These dumb "Smart" phone zombies bumping into me or getting in my way on my daily walks is a regular thing now, (along with the pita e-scooters!).

Remember the days when people looked where they were going or had respect for other FOOTpath users? ;p

Su.O.

Lol, I did (lol).

@BrokeBob - Tell that to Microsoft.

Shelf life of a software product is often 5 years, you can purchase an additional 2 years at a cost, with more limited access to support. To go beyond that increases cost considerably.

Big images and lots of white space is good for online readability.

Hello Em, Marie and others

As I normally access this site on my desktop, using a large [horizontal or "landscape"] monitor, I naturally prefer the old format. However, when I am away from home I usually have to check the postcodes on my phone, and the new format is clearly formatted for that.

I suppose I'll get used to it, in spite of the wide blank spaces on each side on my monitor.

Keep up the good work!

Trevor

I just want to add some extra information regarding the "if it ain't broke" comment. Businesses have to keep up with changes to technology. Keeping our site updated will help with things such as Search Engine Optimisation. If a website gets too old, search engines will stop putting it at or near the top of a search. You have to keep updating things every so often so that a website can be kept relevant in search results. I’m afraid that search engines such as Google have had this impact on all companies. We had been running the same version of the site for 9 years, so we had to update it.

Unfortunately, while our old site may not have been broken, Google made the change necessary. If more time had gone on and the site had continued without changes, we would have been dropped further and further down by Google.

BrokeBob, we've only made some slight changes to the look of the site. If you are able to, sending a screenshot to admin@pickmypostcode.com of how the site appears for you, as well as your device make & model and which browser(s) you use would be useful to pass onto Tech.
