National Lottery reveals lucky number
National Lottery reveals lucky number
More people who live at number 3 win the National Lottery than any other address, new figures examining lucky numbers and addresses have revealed.
Residents at the lucky door number have scooped £77,180,678 since the Lottery launched in November 1994.
The second luckiest door number is No2, followed by No5, No6 and No4.
Other door numbers to make the top ten luckiest include: No17, No8, No1, No11 and No18.
The statistics were calculated on the number of Lotto ticketholders winning over £50,000 who had opted for publicity since the launch almost 15 years ago.
For confidentiality reasons, the number of winners at each door number cannot be revealed.
A National Lottery spokesperson said: ''It seems that three really is the magic number, having bagged some massive wins over the years.
''Players up and down the country will now be checking the numbers on their front door as well as their ticket to see if it their lucky day."
It also emerged that for the second year running, the top three postcodes have held on to their rankings as the luckiest 'hotspots'.
Medway Towns (ME) in Kent has consolidated its place as the luckiest postcode in the UK followed by Essex postcodes Ilford (IG) and Romford (RM) in second and third place respectively.
Other postcode areas making the top 10 are: Sunderland (SR), Newcastle (NE), Perth (PH), Teeside (TS), Dartford (DA), Hull (HU) and Bradford (BD).
Sunderland and Perth both boosted their luck ranking in 2007, climbing four spots each to fourth and sixth place respectively.
However, Newcastle, Dartford and Bradford all took a dip in the luck stakes.
Newcastle slipped from fourth to fifth place, Dartford fell three places to eighth and Bradford took the biggest tumble, falling from sixth place to just hold on to its top ten ranking in tenth place.
Both Teesside and Hull retained their rankings - holding on to the seventh and ninth spots.
Since 1994 over 2,300 millionaires have been created by The National Lottery with over £23 billion raised for Good Causes across the country.
A spokesman added: ''With an average of 19 millionaires created in every postcode area in the UK, its clear there are lucky lottery hotspots everywhere.''
