BRIGHTON is among the luckiest postcodes in the UK, it has been revealed.

A new study by CIA Landlords found that residents of the city are among the most likely to strike gold and win big, with over 6000 national lottery wins to date.

Ranking the 8th luckiest city in the country, Brighton has had 384 postcode wins and 6171 lottery wins.

The research found that those living in Birmingham have the highest chance of winning in lotteries.

Residents of this Midlands city have seen a shocking number of luckily strikes: 769 Postcode Lottery Wins, as well as 6662 wins in the National Lottery.

With the average price of a house in Birmingham being under the average UK price at £219,504, anyone should try their luck here.

Following suit in second place is another Midlands city - Nottingham.

People here also have seen 6662 wins in the National Lottery, as well as 544 wins in the Postcode Lottery.

Combined with the affordability of living in Nottingham, the city is awarded an 8.7 out of 10 in our ranking.

Not far off taking home third place is Manchester in the North West.

Residents have won the Postcode Lottery 564 times over the years and saw an additional 5758 National Lottery wins.

With a final score of 8.1 out of 10, their third place is well deserved.

A spokesman from CIA Landlords said: "We used the results from the postcode lottery and the regional results from the national lottery to find the luckiest postcode.

"An index out of 10 was applied to both of these metrics, where the higher the results the better the score.

"This index was then averaged to create a ranking.

"We also found the cost of living and average house price for the different areas were – if the results were not available then an average for that region was taken."

“BT” is officially the unluckiest postcode in the UK.

Residents in Belfast are least likely to win in lotteries, as the postcode has never seen a win in the Postcode Lottery ever, and just 921 wins in the National Lottery.

Additionally, housing prices here are way higher than the other nine most unlucky cities at an average of £351,043, making Belfast probably one of the least appealing places to live if you want to make big bucks.
