Christine Ryan-Else, a 66-year old retiree from Chesterfield in Derbyshire, won £3,116 on the free online lottery, Pick My Postcode!

Christine first joined Pick My Postcode in 2017, after seeing it featured on Martin Lewis, Money Saving Expert. And finally after years of checking daily and building her bonus through surveys, her postcode was picked on the Main draw, winning her an unbelievable £3,116, completely for free.
When asked how it felt to win, Christine said: “I am still in shock as I never thought it would be me. What a great surprise it was and it came the day after my 66th birthday. What a great present. I have now received my winnings and still cannot believe it.”
Christine also said “It means a lot to me, especially as it is such a big amount. I still cannot believe it.” This is her first win on Pick My Postcode. “I have always checked it everyday from the start of joining.” Speaking on building her large bonus over the years of checking she said, “some of the surveys are really good to do and others are a bit of a bind as they say they last for 15 mins and usually it takes much longer, but I have persevered and that is why I had a good bonus.”
When asked how she planned to spend the winnings, Christine said: “I did think maybe I could spend it on a small holiday but then I thought more practical and I may buy some new worktops for the kitchen, at least then everyday I look at them it will remind me of the win.”
She continued on to say: “I originally did think that it cannot be real, especially when the bonus mounts up. Even my husband didn’t believe it, every time I said I’m just doing a survey he would say you wont win anything. I did think they won’t pay out that much, but I am living proof that it can happen to you. Just keep on doing the surveys and mounting up the money and one day soon it could be your postcode.”
The site offers multiple opportunities for your postcode to be picked every single day. Pick My Postcode has 7,477 active members in Derbyshire and since 2011, the residents have won a total of £66,868.44.

That was such fun with brilliant composition & playing! Thank you Cabarats.
I also agree with Enver saying he could imagine many countries getting up to dance a jig/reel etc to this 💃🏼
Ps If you're looking for their more Ska sounding tunes I recommend a visit to YT, though don't be surprised if, when listening, you suddenly hear a 'metal dump' mid tune 😉

Is it just me or, are their many other members, soundly peed-off with being repeatedly asked about Bitcoin?

I am 1p'd every time I answer the question, yes. Suits me fine. Rather annoyed with people saying how annoyed about it they are though.

I’m definitely not “peed-off “ with it. It’s quicker to do than all other surveys. Not that I mind the survey questions.

Similar posts been put on here. Have you read the paragraph at the top saying you will be asked regularly to judge any change in people using bitcoins. Takes less time to click "No" than it does posting a complaint here.

I rarely listen to more than a snippet of these to be honest, but the Cabarats buck that. Polished, catchy and clearly enjoying every moment.

The Cabarats - absolutely brilliant, especially the virtuoso accordion player! Certainly had my foot tapping and wished it could have gone on longer! Will be back later for some more 🎶 🪗

Why did the other buildings get sad when the airport fell ill?
