We used to win multiple times a month when we had £30k in. We were advised by inlaws (who have been using and winning regularly for years) to only buy in £1k blocks or more. Something to do with the odds of the machine not stopping more than twice within a certain number block (no idea how true it was but it worked for them, still does, they've won some nice sums in their time, but never the big one).
Thanks to laying down the mortgage/renovating etc we now have £25 worth. I won't hold my breath

£1k blocks are out of my reach @Jellytotts 🤣 I felt like I should be invited to join the rich list when I added £500 (still waiting for my invite!).Not all who wander are lost - J.R.R.Tolkien

I think if I had that amount of money it wouldn't go on pbs. That's one advantage of being old!!!! I would be travelling more to see a bit of the world, starting with GB, not leaving it for dds - they might have a bit of it though!!!!
