HEREFORDSHIRE'S HR postcode has been named among the luckiest in the country by a major online bingo site.
This was followed by a much smaller town, West Malling in Kent, with a win percentage of 99.73%, and Eastbourne in East Sussex, with 99.65%.
But Slingo also took a look at the number of winners in the People's Postcode Lottery to see which postcodes are the luckiest - and Herefordshire performed much better there.
While bigger postcodes such as Birmingham and Sheffield had the most wins overall, the company said that when they looked at the wins per person, it was Exeter that can claim to be the luckiest, with 82.9 Postcode Lottery wins per 100,000 people.
It was followed by the TF, SY, DL, LL, TA, LS, TQ, and SA postcodes, with the HR postcode for Herefordshire coming in 10th place.
Slingo said the postcode had recorded 125 wins, working out that it meant there were 70.8 wins per 100,000 people, based on a population of 176,493 people.
Looking into the statistics when it comes to Slingo players, it appears that luck may start to dwindle a little as you get older, the company said, while men and women had roughly equal chances of winning, with Slingo claiming that bets placed by both resulted in the same frequency of wins.
