WORCESTERSHIRE has been named one of the top ten luckiest places in the UK.

The county comes in at number eight on the list - with Kirkby Stephen in Cumbria coming out on top.

Lottoland.co.uk analysed 12 months of betting data to come up with the top ten.

It also found people born on June 8 are the most fortunate in the UK when it comes to winning a bet.

Customers named Archie and Vivian had the most luck – with Vera, Laurie, Claudio, and Chad, also highly fortunate.
