£275 on FH for me, most of which was won one prize out of each of my longest blocks.

Like others, still waiting for an individual prize in excess of £100, having had my first £100 in 2016-17 when the prize rate was much lower.

Are the ‘hold tight’ posters still with us or have they had quite the shock?

Another £25 on FH for me, three months in a row.

maybe time to try something else.

I was also thinking probably time to get out. Last few months have been really pathetic £25, £0 & £0 again in Nov on full holding. But struggling to find any decent alternatives with rates on most savings accounts falling. I've got just about every decent rated regular saver available, rates are likely to fall again on the 7th and none of the fixes look particularly appealing

With increased taxes in the budget, I guess the tax free winnings possibility could still be an attractive  option for some people. It,s getting increasingly difficult to Wade through and choose the best options in this environment.  Winning a million pounds could end up becoming even more of major family inheritance tax problem !

£125 here on full holding - a bit less than what I've got in the last couple of months, but still a respectable sum!

4 x £100 and 2 x £50 = £500 on £49k

I need the max to be increased!  A good month for me this month.  Had a good year all round really.  £2300 so far from January giving me a yield of 4.69%. Best year ever!

I'd spend it before it became an issue Primrose 😂

£175 for me on 48k and £25 for OH on 43k. Not great.

We need most of mine for a big tax bill in Jan, but OH is thinking about the NS&I income bond for his pot. Rumours they need more funding at the moment so might be a good one coming, but even 4.2% is way better than pbs at the moment. His yearly return is about 1.8%.

Back to the usual Sweet FA for me on just over £43K, so total remains at £1,225 this year with only the 1 draw remaining next month.

I’m looking forward to pulling some of these bonds out and getting them into an ISA.
