WORCESTER is one of the unluckiest places in the West Midlands - and the country - when it comes to winning Premium Bond prize draws.

Only Walsall was unluckier than Worcester in the prize draw stakes in the Premium Bond league table.

The figures from 2006/07 show Worcester has fallen out with lady luck compared with last year when the city was in the top five luckiest places in the West Midlands.

Hereford was also low down the league table this year, ranked as the fourth unluckiest.

The luckiest place in the area was Shrewsbury.
