It has been revealed today that Liverpool, Warrington and Chester postcodes are some of the luckiest place to live in the North West for winning the lottery!

The National Lottery’s rich list has been published after 14 millionaires were made in Liverpool in the last two years alone.

Since the launch of The National Lottery 86 millionaires have been made in Liverpool, which is the equivalent of one every 12 weeks.

In total, 647 major prize winners of at least ÂŁ50,000 have been created in the L postcode, including a syndicate of IT workers from Knowsley who scooped ÂŁ109,182 in March this year and Richard Simpson who won ÂŁ300,000 on the Cashword Red Scratchcard from The National Lottery GameStore in May last year.

Andy Carter, Senior Winners’ Advisor for The National Lottery, the man who pays out the big winners, said:

“Liverpool is a fantastic city with an amazing history and lots of great places to live.

“It has clearly also been very lucky in recent years in relation to both millionaires and major cash prize winners.''
