Jools Tinsley, a 62-year-old retiree from Caister near Great Yarmouth in Norfolk, won £885.71 on the free online lottery, Pick My Postcode!

Jools, who has lived in Norfolk for the majority of her life, is retired from local government and now runs an Etsy shop, creating handmade crafts. Jools first joined Pick My Postcode in 2015, and finally after years of checking daily and building her bonus through surveys, her postcode was picked on the Main draw, winning her an amazing £885.71, completely for free.
When asked how it felt to win, Jools said: “It’s awesome. It will allow us to treat our close family.” Jools said the win was a particularly welcome surprise after what had been a difficult day. She planned to go to bed early after she’d had treatment that day on a retinal tear, she decided to check her emails, and after seeing her daily email reminder was shocked to log in and see that she had in fact won the main draw. When asked how she planned to spend the winnings, Jools said: “We’d already decided to go camping together so as well as covering the pitch costs we’ll look after the cost for everything.”
The site offers multiple opportunities for your postcode to be picked every single day. Pick My Postcode has 6,369 active members in Norfolk and since 2011, the residents have won a total of £63,308.07. Jool’s win proves that checking Pick My Postcode takes only seconds but could make a huge difference. Join thousands of members who check daily and start growing your own bonus today!

(Got to love the Germans. They have a word for everything. Although, that's why Oscar Wilde said, "Life is too short to learn German"; that and their accursed three genders and declining adjectives. Oh, and 'verbs at the end of sentences putting'.)
Okay, I hear you. It means 'deeply relaxed' but that would have been two words.

Another idea from me .....
On the "Win A Dinner" site we used to have a comments section where people posted jokes - I know there is a banner at the bottom that says "Looking for the jokes comments section? We've had to remove them from the site due to issues with the Facebook plugin. Sorry! "
This chat on PMP is not a Facebook plugin - so could the same chat be added back to WAD?
This would maybe create more views as people would potentially log on several times a day to see what jokes have been added or add their own ... More views equals more revenue, which in turn could turn into more or better prizes.
I understand that the admin would need to then monitor both sites - but the extra revenue may be worth it.
LMK what you think

I have shared this idea with my colleagues. Thank you for taking the time to share.
Edit: It is already of our list of possibilities for the future but the PMP to-do list and ideas take priority over WAD.

Years ago, I saw a book titled "Granny Made Me An Anarchist" . I've often wondered if I should have written to the author and asked if his granny could make one for me. 😁
