Combined £450 for my wife and I on a 2 x FH… not too shabby.1

Only £125 on a FH, but £2375 over the year, pretty much on a par with a lot of current savings accounts. Happy enough with that. We'll see what next year brings!2

Beginner's Luck here.
I purchased £200's worth on the last day of October to get an account set up in preparation for building towards a FH this coming year.
So, first draw ever and I've won £100.
I can only hope that my luck continues in this way£6000 in 20238 -

After a £300 win in November (4x £25, 2 x £50 & 1 x £100) I wasn't expecting too much in December with the lower prize pot however I did get 2 prizes:
1 x £25
1 x £5000
I had to check a few time both on my computer and app before telling my wife.
This bring my total wins for 2024 to £7150 which is a 15.60% return (in 2023 it was 2.80%).
This on a full holding.16
