In It to Win It, Innit

If you're called Susan, you're a Taurus and you live in Birmingham then you're likely to be one of the luckiest people in the whole country.

Research into the winners' database has discovered which names, postcodes, star signs and ages tend to be the luckiest.  It revealed Susans and Julies tend to take home the winnings most frequently, with ladies with these names bagging £131 million in five years.

Women took the top five spots in the research, showing lady luck seems to favour her own sex, but if you're named David you could be in for a treat though, as you have the luckiest male name, coming in sixth place on the luck list.

Taurus bingo players are the luckiest, while those with the star sign Cancer are the second most fortuitous and when it comes to age, those born in the 1960s seemed to make the most money.  Winners from that decade featuring in the top ten and players born around that time have netted more than £500 million over the past five years.

Brummie residents won the jackpot more than those living in any other postcode, with Bristol close behind.
