£150 on FH. Not as bad as I anticipated. That makes £475 so far this year.1

£175 on 38k & DH £225 on 44k so pretty decent2

My first non winning month since last May with a full holding since October. April is the only month in which I have never won a single prize!1

£125 for me (2 x £50 + 1 x £25) on £22k. Rolling year return back up a bit to 5.23%.
As I've now done 3 full years, that's 52 prizes from 36 draws - giving an average annual return of 4.58% - brought down by the first year being 2.95%. But the middle year was 5.56% - so my own pattern pretty much follows interest rate history.
I am seeing (in my own results at least) a drop in the size of prizes (which is how they reduce the return), in 2024 I had 8 x £100 prizes and no £25s. This year, to date, I've had no £100s but several £25s.3 -
I won £650 on £40,600!!!!!!!!!!At last, after six years of slowly building up from £20k and never winning a prize of over £200 in any one month 😅

taylornj said:Looks like I won £200 same as last month, £100, £50 2x £25. The winnings for the year are £2200 or 4.4% on full holding. As interest on savings exceed the zero tax bands I would have been paying tax on interest, £440 at basic rate.1
