Most people have imagined what it would be like to catch a lucky break, whether that’s winning the lottery or landing a dream job, but could where you live affect your chances?

Well, the answer is, not really. Things like lotteries and raffles, are just completely random. But for a bit of fun, slots and bingo website, Slingo, investigated the luckiest locations.

Delving into their database of players, they revealed the places and postcodes which have, statistically, seen the most winners across their games, naming two East Sussex locations among them.
