I got one win @ £1k this month on a £45k holding. Best I've done in a few months as it's only really been the odd £50 or £25 prizes this year so far. I did get a £10,000 prize 2 or 3yrs back so have not done too badly really with my holdings.
The bigger the bargain, the better I feel.
I should mention that there's only one of me, don't confuse me with others of the same name.2 -
Woh! you have done superbly. Well done.

For a 50K holding there is only a 1 in 113 chance of winning at least £1,000 (at the current prize fund rate) in a single draw, or about once every 9.5 years. That's a great result.
Odds would have been different then but with a 50K holding it is currently a 1 in 2,873 chance of winning 10K in a single draw, or once every 239 years!
I came, I saw, I melted2 -
Yes I try not to think of those odds when checking my numbers.
I won £1k at the beginning of the year on about £30k holding. So, it is worth knowing that even winning that amount, let alone more, will be a rare event for most individuals.
