Surprised and very happy to receive this email today. Only 20 prizes each month: 1 x £500, 5 x £200 and 14 x £50. Good return on my monthly £10 subscription.
You're one of our Sunny Day winners!
Dear Mr XXXX
Congratulations, you’ve won £200 in our Sunny Day Saver prize draw for December!
Anyone know if it counts for PSA? I assumed not, as its a prize, just dont understand why they added the bit about tax liabilities in the T&Cs :
The Prize is a cash prize, paid in pounds sterling (£) and is paid tax-free. The Winners will be responsible for any individual tax liabilities2 -

The warning is just boilerplate stuff to disclaim them in case you are subject to other jurisdictions where prizes are treated as income (such as the US).5 -

I am tempted to leave it as is and see if I can get away with two Christmas 2025s. Or the other option is to call Principality and tell them I've made a mistake. Any thoughts?
How far out from maturity are you? I've got an RS maturing on 20/12, might see if they offer me double-dibs on the Xmas 25 too.
I have enough money in my EA pot to fund all my RSs so this £125 would just sit in Cahoot's 5.12% on 1st January. I think it is worth trying to get two Xmas25 running, can't think of any downsides, in worst case scenario they will return £125 with a couple of day's delay.
Both theoretically give me the option to open the new Christmas 25 one too (which I've already opened).
Principality BS
Six month RS matured into (another) Christmas 25 with £125 in it
Let's see what tomorrow brings when my Maturity Winter also matures.0
