    Checker seems to be broken. It says 1 day to go, then refused to accept my number - saying it was too short.

    Beginners luck - a £50 win on 2nd draw of £1k

    TOP MONEYSAVING TIP

    Make your own Pot Noodles using a flower pot, sawdust and some old shoe laces. Pour in boiling water, stir then allow to stand for two minutes before taking one mouthful, and throwing away. Just like the real thing!

    After my mammoth win of £550 last month on a holding of £10k I have now won £100. I was expecting a few barren months after my good luck last month. Can't complain though.

    Nothing for me this month, but fully expected, as I cashed most of mine in after the last draw. My returns had plummeted after previously doing well and I'd set my own criteria for calling it quits and stuck to it. I've only kept £2k in for sentimental reasons and I did win £25 from that batch last month, so probably be blank for a while.

    Already made about £64 in interest on the cashed in batch, so I've decided to allocate interest on that sum to specific pots (holiday spending etc) in the same way that I did my PB wins.

    2 × £100 on a full holding. Rolling 12 month total £1875 (3.75%) and 2.42 wins per month. I think this better than the median , so can't complain.

    £275 in total this month for us on 2 * FHs. Takes us up to £1600 for the first 3 months of this year. The "luck" must give out in April !!

    £325 on FH (3 x £100 + £25). This is my largest win in a year. Rolling 12-month total now £1100 or 2.2%. Still some way off the median.

    OH won £100 + £25 on his FH.
