We've been around the block
"I had the idea for a postcode lottery in September 2007 when I heard the term on a Radio 4 report about the NHS. I was also inspired by milliondollarhomepage.com, and how advertising on the internet makes things free. I’ve never been a fan of lotteries, and gambling in general, because the consumer almost always loses, so worked on the concept of a daily, ad-funded postcode lottery that scaled the prizes along with the audience. It’s been a roaring success in the UK and now we’ve teamed up with a lovely company based in Kilkenny to bring our Free Daily Postcode Lottery to Ireland."
