Until last week I have been visiting this site on a daily basis with no problem https://pickmypostcode.com/

Now when I go there all the winning postcodes are missing. It works on my tablet but not my Laptop. I am using Google Chrome on Windows 10.

As I don't know how computers actually work I am unable to work out what has gone wrong. I presume that a recent update has caused the problem but that doesn't help me solve the problem.

Can anybody help?

I've cleared the cache a few times since it went wonky. It doesn't make any difference.

It's irritating rather a serious problem but I want to get it sorted.

Thanks for trying to fix it.
I've only had 1 Flash Draw win - have you had any wins?
I have the extension "I don't care about cookies" on Chrome & once I'd whitelisted the site within that, the site worked as usual.
Get in touch with them - it may be something they need to look at.
I'm sure I glimpsed (but didn't stop to read) a comment to the effect that it's a known problem.
I had the issue last week and did as LIK says, or rather my Daughter did it for me.

Tuvok - I haven't won anything. My bonus is only about £15.

To the rest of you - I disable the 'I don't care about Cookies' and disabled it on the postcode site. It now works!

I never even considered that that extension would cause problems, I am not at all sure if it actually does anything.

Thanks to all of you.

If you don't have the extension I mentioned, here's how to whitelist the site in Chrome's settings -

Click 3 dots top-right
Click "Settings" - scroll to "Privacy and security"
Click "Cookies and other site data"
Scroll to "See all cookies and site data"
Next to "Sites that can always use cookies" click "Add"
C & P the site address into the box & click "Add"

The site should now work.
Sorry Wolf, cross-posted - glad you're sorted :-)
thanks L-i-K at 17.49, that advice worked for me. How perverse that an extension called 'I don't care about cookies' should cause a problem :-)


Glad it helped, ael - it's odd, yes & as I said, I'm sure they know about it, so perhaps a notice will be posted when it's fixed at their end...
I also visit this site on a daily basis - I hope you check the stackpot twice a day, as it refreshes every 12 hours - 9am til 9pm and then 9pm til 9 am .... which reminds me .... the stackpot list is about to refresh, so I need to check again.
I've had 1 win so far .... on the stackpot. My bonus was only about £15 when I won, but it's nearly £40 now :)
