    £25 for me this month.
    £750 for the whole year so far on 80% holding.

    My wins are way down on the previous two years; in 2024 my total was £1750 and in 2023 it was £1625.

    Biggest win was £575 in September '23.

    I'd like more of those!

    My best result ever with 6 prizes totalling £425.  Takes the 12 month total to £1975 (3.95%) on a full holding.

    £25 This month on a holding of £7400,  I ain't too sad though,  it stopped me getting 4 blank months on the trot.

    Same, although only £2,000 on a rolling year so getting to the territory of could have done better in a savings account. Other than one blank, it was going very well until June hit.
