    I am fortunately seeing a return of just under 4%pa from the last 6 years.

    I don't want to ruin my good luck but I've held 30K since last November and have won:
    £125, 2x£25, 2x£50 and £75
    I won the first month I was in it (December) and every month since except for January. I only bought them as I wanted a safe place to keep some money while waiting for FIL to sell his house and become financially stable.
