    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.
    Congratulations on a big win!

  • £150 for me this month (1x £50, 1x £100). I’m happy enough with this month seeing that the prize pot being nerfed recently. Holding just under 43.5K

    My grand total for 2024 is £1,375 which is slightly below the expected average return. I guess that’s okay because it could of been a lot worse.

    Nowt on full...again.  £2k exactly for year after a good start (£750 in Feb) but poor 2nd half. 
    4.00% tax free is satisfactory for the year but feels rubbish 'cos so long since decent win. Had 3 or 4 months of Nil..
