Pick My Postcode’s Stackpot Draws

It varies depending on how many claims there have been on the previous draws. Three postcodes get randomly drawn for the Stackpot each time a draw takes place. If you see more than three postcodes, this means that not all of the stackpots have been claimed from the previous draws. The number of unclaimed ones roll over and three more are added if this happens. This means that the number of stackpots can fluctuate depending on how many claims there have been. In this case, there were more claims on the previous draw, so less rolled over.

It is only registered postcodes that can be winners. From the Rules: "Only postcodes that are registered by players will be drawn. So, there is always at least one eligible winner – there's no danger of us choosing a postcode where nobody can win!"

Its the registered player that is picked. With there postcode they have registered showing as the winning postcode

Borage keeps appearing in my garden & marjoram. I don't use either but the bumble bees love both so actually I don't mind these invaders filling a few gaps.

Mint.

I grow all my own herbs but never rampant mint! Even in pots it escapes!!

Juniper, hate the flavour!

Wintergreen: Minty, cooling flavor; primarily used for teas, candies, and flavoring medicinal oils.

A friendly one eyed electrician I knew who rewired our house absolutely reeked of it, he said it was good for his chest, but its smell really lingered, so much that mum went out shopping for the day & left me to help him. We had all the windows open in the evening.

Probably Sage, typical Owl !

Nice with Onion though.

Not keen on coriander and parsley is a bit meh.

Asafoetida, used in middle eastern recipes. Don't use if on blood pressure medication. Smells awful.

Donnie 😅

Mine is coriander, it tastes like soap to me.

I haven't got the thyme for this.

Of course, it would be preferable for members to post similar comments in one thread as it just means that you then don't see multiple identical responses from us and other comments are not pushed down so much. However, we know that not everybody scrolls down far enough to check if there is an existing thread on the same subject and we do always appreciate things like this being bought to our attention. Our answer is just copied & pasted, so it's not a big job for us to reply to each post.

FORGIVE CAPS PMP.

IT IS ALWAYS INTERESTING WATCHING FORUM TOPICS DEVELOP.

SOME USERS RUN OUT OF TIME TO SCOUR MANY THREADS/COMMENTS & POST QUICK UPDATES, WHILE OTHERS CHOOSE TO START A NEW THREAD FOR ‘POEMS’ INSTEAD OF ADDING TO THE ORIGINAL, LIKE THE STACKPOT DRAW PAGE REGARDING SOMEONE BEING UNINSPIRED COLLECTING 3P 😉

MISTAKES HAPPEN TO BOTH NEW/SEASONED USERS, I’M SURE NO ONE INTENTIONALLY WANTS TO MAKE EXTRA WORK FOR ADMIN.

…but it adds to the Admin work time, reading through dozens of identical comments and having to post dozens of responses. It would take an individual 2 seconds to glance at the top comments and instantly know it’s already been reported?

I don’t feel it’s “patronising “ to remind people how comments pages work? You may know but still choose not to read, others clearly don’t know?

Goodness me, the commenters above, how patronising. Yes, we know how chat pages work thanks, but some of us have not got the time to scroll through reams of comments and besides, what harm is there in letting Admin know if you’ve had problems. You don’t have to scroll through all the replies either, but you choose to!

FORGIVE CAPS PMP.

IMAGINE IF MANY USERS LACK THE TIME TO READ THROUGH ALL COMMENTS BEFORE POSTING, OR MIGHT NOT EVEN READ THE COMMENTS AS SOME DO, INSTEAD JUST DROPPING A QUICK UPDATE FOR THE ADMINS TO PICK UP 🤔

I’VE NOTICED NEWER COMMENTERS GET CALLED OUT FOR STARTING NEW THREADS, BUT WHEN SEASONED COMMENTERS DO THE EXACT SAME THING THEY ARE GIVEN MORE GRACE ⚖️

REMEMBER CHRIS’S RECENT POST ASKING TO BE GENTLE WITH NEW MEMBERS?

Yea, definitely something wrong. I checked about 1 o'clock and there where nine Postcodes showing.

Non of them mine, so obviously an issue.

😄

I think many people assume they’re the only one having difficulties and never think to read the comments. They don’t even consider the likelihood that many other people have already asked and been answered.

I see this on other forums regularly. It just seems to be a lack of awareness of how chat pages work.

I suppose there are many hundreds of members who do check the comments, realise what the problem is and don’t comment or swamp admin with emails!😊

Why have so many people opened up identical threads moaning about the same issue even after Marie has explained it. Come on folks, stop wasting admin time

Sorry about this. The company that helps us with the ads are doing some upgrades and testing today to make sure it is all working correctly after the same problem the other day.

We’ve temporarily disabled the ads now whilst they are ironing out a couple of issues, so you should be able to see the results. Hopefully it should all be fixed and back to normal later today.

They were all there when I opened the page but only the two claimed ones are showing now.

How do you email admin? Not seeing a contact details.

Yes! It's showing up as red for me and only two are vaguely visible. Turning on the ad blocker worked though, thank you Anonymous.

No mine is fine. Take a screenshot and email admin

I could only get them to display properly by turning ON my ad blocker. Normally I have it switched off for this site.

Yes, the ad is covering the postcodes.

No problem for me.

Edit. I read the posts below and when I scrolled back up all the postcodes except the two claimed ones have disappeared.

Yes - I'm assuming my postcode is not there as all the £10 boxes are red rather than green, but it is still annoying

Me too

Congratulations !

Congrats on your very nice win. 😊

Nicely spotted. Such a shame that you can't raise a glass named after you because Woods closed up the brewery.

You're very welcome, Shropshirelass! Just to clarify, we were able to pay the winnings so quickly because Shropshirelass confirmed their PayPal email address to us, so we didn't have to wait until the next day as we usually do.

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🎉🎉🎉

Well spotted.

🎉 Congrats 🎉

Nice win. Congrats.

Congratulations on your win!🎉

FORGIVE CAPS PMP.

BEING DEROGATORY ABOUT A HUGE GROUP OF PEOPLE DOESN'T BALANCE THE BOOKS. I'M NO APOLOGIST FOR RACHEL REEVES, BUT IF YOU COULD HAVE DONE THE JOB BETTER - MAYBE IT'S EASIER DONE FROM THE SIDELINES?

REGARDING THE MAGA CROWD, THEY ACTUALLY DID INVERT THE STARS & STRIPES DELIBERATELY AS A SYMBOL OF DISTRESS TO THEIR PREVIOUS GOVERNMENT NOT LOOKING AFTER THEM - IT WAS A PROTEST, NOT A MISTAKE.

IT’S EASY TO POINT FINGERS FROM THE OUTSIDE, BUT SWEEPING GENERALISATIONS JUST INSULT PEOPLE UNNECESSARILY.

My understanding is that the german flag is only displayed as a banner (vertically) on public buildings. Otherwise gold at the top would mean that the flag was upside down.

Happy to be corrected 😇

Edit : Thanks for the confirmation DSM and help me!

Lol63: the German flag has horizontal stripes: black at the top then red then yellow at the bottom, so you can tell if it's upside down. The Belgian flag though, with vertical stripes, is the same upside down, as are many others including Switzerland, Italy, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Japan, Austria, Bahamas &c. &c. Presumably they plan never to be in distress.

Edit: You beat me to it DSM.

@Lol 63 - The black stripe is at the top when flown correctly!

🧙‍♂️🧑‍🦯🤣

@Chris How would you know if the German flag were being flown the wrong way up?

@Beth8it, Barrie is correct the Union flag is only called the Union Jack when it's flown on a Jackstaff at the front of a ship, usually a naval ship.

Think you can, Barrie - it’s a distress signal as Myloguinness says.

Flags were originally rallying points for armies in the confusion of battle, especially where the conscripted yokels with their pitchforks couldn’t read - a white horse, black bear etc was easy for them to see where their leader was. Family crests, with diagonals, crosses etc became adapted into national flags. The South African one has black for its people, yellow for its sun, green for its verdant regions and red for the blood spilt by its people in the many battles fought there.

My flag is of England not the union & when working I heard a bloke of Jamaican decent & a bloke of Asian descent saying during a football tournament "We don't fly our St. George's flag often enough in this country.

BTW you cannot fly the union JACK upside down but you can the union flag.

Union Jack upside down could be right as it means " I am in distress "

There should be nothing wrong with anybody choosing to fly their flag as a sign of pride and respect for their country. Sadly in some cases, it is used as a political statement or some sort of symbolism, which can then cause issues. Maybe those people do that because they don't feel heard, but I assume it can also feel intimidating to those who feel it is aimed at them.

It is not far right.

It is just right !

Well said Mrs Trellis.

The Flag of your Country represents Pride in Your Country.

If a few use it for their supposed purpose, why should the majority be 'punished' ?

Why is none of this opprobrium directed to the Scottish or Welsh people when they fly their flags? In Scotland the saltire is displayed everywhere.

I think it's better to listen to people's concerns rather than label them far left, far right etc. If more people listened and tried to understand other's situations, we'd be better off.

The flag has been appropriated by the 'far right'. The 'far right' is a mixture of Christian nationalists, anti-immigration, anti-Islam, and populist nationalist movements. I would suggest that anyone who is not wealthy (and preferably a white male) should be concerned. Certainly not just 'lefties'.

Flags mean territorial supremacy or religious trouble, ... ban them all.

In what world does someone flying a Flag of their Country make them Far Right ?

Upside down, inside out or otherwise ?

So people that fly a Union Jack are far right now ???

Wipe your tears away lefties

I was pretty disgusted to see our flag upside down on the US state visit by our King, but that’s nothing to finding the Naval team I met at Plymouth Naval Base, when I donated a lifebelt from the old HMS Vanguard battleship to the nuclear sub Vanguard. They wanted a promo shot for the Navy Daze magazine, and it was only when I said, ‘Hang on a minute, you’ve got the flag upside down.’ Nobody had noticed, and the Captain, a lovely guy, said very quietly, ‘Change that flag. NOW.’ The chap who had set it up leaped into action. Nothing more was said - while I was there. But after? How would you feel, having someone who is not only a civilian but a woman, picking up a core fact that they have drummed into them on enlisting, and none of the 6 guys had noticed - including the Captain. 🫣

Quite so DSM.

A lot of national flags are fairly simple to check that they are the right way up but the Union flag is difficult as even the wrong way (narrow white diagonal on top) looks similar to the right way (broad white diagonal on top)

🧙‍♂️🧑‍🦯🤣

@Alley1940 - that means you've got them on back to front!!

🧙‍♂️🧑‍🦯🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

That made my eyes water.

🤣

😁

Coriander

I remember the Herbs too. Parsley the lion was my favourite as he was frindly and helpful.

My favourite herb would be lavender for the fragrance and bay leaves for cooking, both from the garden. I used to have lemon balm in a wheelbarrow but it didn't survive the recent chainsaw specialist 🙁

Oi'm Bayleaf, Oi'm the gaardner,

Oi work from early dawn;

You'll find me sweepin' up the leaves

Or tidyin' the gard'n... Arr!

Dill was the dog (A dog called Dill)

Sage was the owl

Tarragon was a dragon with a Welsh accent

Lady Rosemary was the posh one

Professor Onion taught the chives

And Pashana Bedhi's accent is probably the reason it's never shown any more.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spM97RLIefI

I think rosemary is my favourite, I also love bay leaves.

I too grow quite a few herbs in my garden -rosemary; sage; thyme; hyssop; lavender; mint; chives and best for bees is wild marjoram - they really love that.

Kat, my herb "garden" is in an old wheelbarrow, and yes, the sage is wonderful for the bees atm.

I've got thyme, rosemary, chives, lavender & sage in my little herb garden & the sage is in glorious flower now & the bees are all over it. The scents are wonderful. There's mint growing on the pond margins & the watercress is abundant. I don't use many herbs but I do like to have them in the garden. Oh, the bay tree is lovely too, I've probably used half a dozen leaves in ten years, still, nice to have.

Remember the good old days? Shoulder of lamb for 2/6d, leg 4/-. Mum used to get the noisettes of lamb most weeks - two each for the for of us. That’s second mortgage money nowadays, or bucket list.

I couldn't pick a favourite from parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme.

I remember the Herbs too. Basil is my favourite.

Lol 63... sadly I am old enough to remember the herbs too...younger members should YouTube search.🥰

P.s I think I must have watched the re-runs..1970 onwards 😂

@ ANN, got one for the family last Christmas. Only time I get them now.

Lavender

I can't decide but either coriander or basil.

I was going to say Alpert and his Tijuana Brass.

Chocolate Spaniel If you're not aware, keep your eyes open at times like Easter and Christmas. I got one at Easter, couldn't cook it for five days as wife was away but it came out beautifully when I did. I'd used Dukkah, an Egyptian spice on it. Thought I'd have to mix the spice myself but happened to find we actually had a jar of it in the cupboard. The lamb was so good, and cheap I rushed out for a second one to go in the freezer before the offer ended.

Curly leaf Parsley.

None

Alpert - Even older than Lol 63!

🧙‍♂️🧑‍🦯🤣

Parsley the Lion. (You have to be a certain age)

I'll have to go with Thyme – mostly because you need an awful lot of it while waiting for your postcode to finally be drawn!

Got to be Basil for me - lovely smell, lifts the taste of supermarket tomatoes (toms don't seem to taste of much these days so grow my own when season right). Tried to grow Basil on several occasions but failed miserably, probably too cold up here.

Rosemary, a lovely aroma when roasting a leg of lamb (when you could afford it!)

I've replied to the email you sent about this explaining how it works.

Unfortunately not. The Stackpot is first to claim wins, and it's already been claimed. All explained in the FAQ which you are asked to read when you join.

All they need to do is arrest and lock up all criminals. The only problem with that is half the police would be inside as they're starting to find out.

A Nick Name - we get plenty of burglaries around here and there isn't a traveller site for miles. Nor are there any asylum seekers, 'boat people' or any of the other groups demonised by Reform and its supporters. There are plenty of white, English, flag waving, homophobic, drug taking criminals who are perfectly capable of making life a misery for decent people.

Special prize to the moron in my local barber the other day who has a SS tattoo on his neck. Yes, some people actually think that what this country needs is Nazi policies. If I'd been the barber, my blade would have slipped ...

Are the travelling community visiting? I hope not. We get them from time to time and when they do houses get broken into and the small horse and carts are seen running up and down the road.

It could be somebody pulling a shopping trolley or a wheelie suitcase over paving slabs. Remarkably loud, and does sound very rhythmic, like a horse.

Could it be a Nightjar? Click on the Wingbeat heading on here: https://www.british-birdsongs.uk/nightjar/?type=song-741

Other thing doesn't bear thinking about - cracking from old mine workings!

It's Tinniitus. I hear ambulances non stop! I'd rather hear horses but when we do get them it's usually a posh funeral not from the riding stables. x

Posh - she just always seemed out of place!

I've never come across a spice I don't like, but the smell of asafoetida isn't pleasant but it's excellent in Indian dishes.

Chilli powder

The fake meat is revolting!

If I don’t want to eat meat, I don’t want to eat something trying to look or taste like it.

Damsel, I agree , there's too much chilli in veggie stuff. I hate garlic too and end up making most stuff from scratch to avoid it. I've been vegan for 18 years and was virtually vegan for 7 years before that and whilst there are so many more choices these days, I still find it's the same old garlic/chilli/curry options and I don't eat the fake meat either!

Really interested to see this chat - I thought that I was the only one who didn’t like ginger and cinnamon.

Chilli powder (and chillies), curry powder, particularly turmeric. Am allergic to something in curry, tried a mild one once and skin turned horrible blotchy livid pink. Herbs and spices should be used to enhance food, not smother it.

I took part in a trial into properties of turmeric. The group were divided into a control group who had a dummy pill; second group took a turmeric pill and third group took powdered turmeric. I was in the powdered turmeric group which had to eat a spoonful every other day in any way we chose. On my first day I found out that I don't like turmeric but as I had signed up for the trial I had to keep going. I tried it in every way on the suggestion sheetbut nothing improved it. Granddaughter found it highly amusing to watch me trying to swallow the substance. I got through to the end of the trial and celebrated when I took the final dose.

Turmeric, saffron, cumin, coriander, tarragon.......

Chilli for me too, it seems to be getting into so many foods now especially vegetarian meals that it's quite difficult to avoid it and it reduces my choice of what I can eat.

Chilli especially the peppers!🌶️

Chilli powder and curry powder. No thanks!

Cardamom pods. Don't mind the flavouring but biting into a whole one is the stuff of nightmares.

@Enver - I bought a 1kg bag of crystallised ginger not long ago 😋

I like most spices but one thing I don't like is Tarragon, which I suppose is a herb rather than a spice. Horrible taste and often found in chicken dishes which is a bit unfortunate as chicken is the only meat I eat.

Red🔥Hot chillies🌶🌶🌶 or powder. Never rub your eyes or pee holding it till you've washed your hands thoroughly several times after using 🌶🌶🌶. I learnt that the hard way.

Ginger nuts are tasteless to me as I like to eat lumps of crystallised ginger. 🍪🍪

Me too Lol63 and Bob, can’t stand anything with ginger in it 😝

All of them

except cinnamon and nutmeg

Can’t understand why we have to have spice and herbs at all !!!

Cayenne pepper

Turmeric, I tried using it because I kept reading about it's medicinal properties but it didn't agree with me at all, I don't like the smell or taste of curries and I guess that's why

Me too Lol63, and cinnamon

This is going to cause some controversy considering the previous question, but ginger (and I'm not talking about Ms Halliwell-Horner.)

If I'm looking for one of those "Innocent" smoothies to complete a meal deal, I have to be very careful to avoid any that might have ginger in. Which seem to be becoming increasingly popular, but I can't stand it.

I do think it would be good to put a list of questions on here that people might want the answer to. If so one of the questions I'd have on there would be that one "Is there a FAQ page?"

Very funny Chris.

Just imagine if there was a FAQ page where people could go to find things out?

@Admin Marie, what you write makes things clearer than the faq do.

To clarify, it is the number of unclaimed postcodes that roll over, not the postcodes themselves.

@Derek.IDC. dead on 9am or 9pm, the lowest postcode disappears as the changeover starts. That may have given you the impression of 4 being added if you had been checking just then.

Agree with Alley1940 about the same unclaimed postcodes rolling over, but thinking about it, when the National lottery does rollovers it's different numbers.

Plus I'm sure just recently 4 PCs have been added instead of 3.

I thought that too Alley1940

@ Marie - The above makes it sound like the same unclaimed postcodes are rolled over and not replaced by newly drawn ones. Just saying.

Three postcodes get randomly drawn for the Stackpot each time a draw takes place. If you see more than three postcodes, this means that not all of the stackpots have been claimed from the previous draws. The unclaimed ones roll over and three more are added if this happens. This means that the number of stackpots can fluctuate depending on how many claims there have been.

https://help.pickmypostcode.com/article/16-what-are-the-different-draws

I thought it was 3 extra added at 9am and 9pm?

It's normal, the unclaimed postcodes on Stackpot are changed & 2 or 3 more added every time. I've once seen it down to 1, & as high as about 35 postcodes.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

@Lol63 - sorry, I'm already booked elsewhere!

🧙‍♂️🧑‍🦯🤣

If the giant rabbit covered in jam and wearing a tutu visits me again tonight, I'll ask for you.

You need a red-headed motorcycle mama to take you on her pillion. Hold on tight & follow her lead.

A fascinating analysis. I'm not dowsizing or particularly cramped, current lack of storage space perhaps, experienced confusion & quiet acceptance in the dream maybe, with a thought to possibly check who was in my old bedsit on the floor above.

A wendyhouse, no such luxury , maybe something a bit more unusual, like a garden shed where there is hardly room to move about.

I think it means politicians don't care what happens to us.

😂😂 @csikjanos

love the explanation of the dream @PAUL snr

Enver, the first reply was from Wendyhouse. Rather extreme downsizing?

I think it is just your brain archiving and deleting things you may not need to recall. Weirdly, I also had a dream involving keys!

Dreams of this nature are incredibly common and typically serve as symbolic reflections of your subconscious processing life changes or revisiting past emotions. Your dream blends specific memories with fragmented details, presenting a fascinating psychological puzzle.Dream Elements ExplainedThe Former Dublin Home: Returning to an old place usually means your brain is processing unresolved emotions or comparing a past version of yourself to your current life. It might indicate a desire to reconnect with the comfort or mindset of that specific era.The Smaller Bedsit: Cramped or altered living spaces in dreams often represent a feeling of being limited or constrained in some area of your life. It can point to a feeling of regression—like you've suddenly had to "downsize" your goals, responsibilities, or personal boundaries.The Familiar Furniture: Finding your belongings in this unfamiliar setting highlights a disconnect between what you possess (your internal traits, memories, or life experiences) and the environment you currently find yourself in.You Didn't Know Who Did It: This mystery element is classic. Because the change is unauthored by you, it symbolizes a lack of control or an unexpected transition in your waking life that you are trying to make sense of.The Symbolic MeaningIn dream psychology, a house often represents your mind, your "self," or your current life situation. Finding your belongings in an unfamiliar bedsit suggests you may be attempting to "fit" past habits, memories, or parts of your personality into a new, tighter, or perhaps less comfortable phase of life. It could mean you are carrying old baggage into a new, smaller space.It is also common to experience this kind of scenario as a manifestation of an "anxiety dream," where your brain works through feelings of vulnerability or the stress of navigating unexpected changes.If you'd like, let me know a little bit more so we can see how this might tie into your life:What emotions did you feel in the dream (e.g., confusion, relief, panic, or acceptance)?Are you currently navigating any major life transitions or feeling a bit "cramped" in your current routine?Do the items of furniture hold any specific sentimental value?

The fact you have the key suggests you have the answer to this,maybe you are feeling your world is becoming smaller though not down to you/out of your hands 🤔

😊

This is all a phantom in my brain.

By my dead reckoning you've a ghostly👻 chance of getting into the 0C Cult.
