If your name is on this list you've got a good chance of winning the lotto!

Our Facebook newsfeeds are constantly filled with memes that claim "these are the names of people who are most likely to ...".

But this list is the real deal... well according to a recent survey anyway.

If your name appears on the list below, there's a VERY good chance you’ll win the lotto.

Website Jackpot.com - who have been collecting data since 1995 - have compiled the most common lotto winning names.

So without further ado, here’s the list of the top five names most likely to win:

1. Derek
2. David/Dave
3. Alex
4. John
5. Karen

They also found that those with these professions won more often:
