    £50 on FH so an improvement on recent months! This is my worst year ever though, I was faring better when the interest rate was much lower several years ago🙁!

  • Nil for me on £12k again. This is the 9th consecutive blank 🙈
  • My 4th blank of the year on a full holding. It's getting beyond a joke now!
    I accept I'm never going to win big, and doubt I'll ever get even a £500 win but I'd hope for an average number of prizes over time even if they were all £25. Instead I've had 66 prizes over the past 3 years though average luck should have given me 81 and not once in that time have I been ahead of where I'd 'expect' to be just on low value wins. Just 2.55% return this year. I must be crazy keeping them!
    Has anyone had a long run of below par returns but seen their luck change, or are some of us just fated to luckless?

    Nothing again on FH
    This calendar year has been awful. 5 blanks, and winnings of £1000 altogether, very poor
    Crikey! Someone's done even worse than me! Perhaps it'll be our turn in 2026.
  • £25 on full holding.

    2.95% return over the last rolling 12 months.

    A total of 18 months on full holding, averaging £181 per month.


    FIRE !!!

    That £12K would be much better off in a savings account.

    Posting on here is doing nothing for my luck - £0 on a full holding. That's three blank months in a row. Overall prize total for 2025 is £1350 or 2.7% return. I've had a FH all year.

    OH beat me on two fronts; £250 for him this month and £1425 total for 2025, also FH throughout (2.85% return).
