    £25 on £44,100. My results have really dropped off since the big April win. When I hit £50k I’ll finally take my head out the clouds and invest elsewhere.

    This table shows the expected total number of wins from the January to November 2025 draws (inclusive of both) if the holding has remained unchanged during the calendar year 2025. So on a 50K holding you could have expected on average about 7 or 8 £100 wins, 7 or 8 £50 wins and 9 £25 wins. And on a 50K holding you would have had about a 1 in 3.5 chance of winning at least one prize of £500 or above in the year to date. 
    Required winnings to match the prize fund rate for the year to date on 50K holding are £1,733 (penultimate row of table). The £500 and above wins on a full 50K holding are going to be few and far between as the table shows. As we know this skews the median winning amount downwards. So I've shown the arithmetic mean winnings of £100 and below prizes also which is £1,387 for a 50K holding.   
    I've won £0 on a £1,000 holding in 2025 so far. Last wins September 2024 (£100) and July 2024 (£100) while also holding £1,000.

    I came, I saw, I melted

    Hmmm
    according to the prize checker just now, I won £125 in 'October'  and it's also showing a win of £25 in September.

    Strange because today is November and I won £200 in October. 
    Think I'll try again later when it's properly awake 😄
