    Nothing last month, but £25 on £40k this month.

    I averaged 2 1/2 £25 prizes a month last year, and up to January this year on a £25k holding. When the rules were changed, I increased my holding to £40K, but I had nothing last month, and only 1 £25 this month.

    In other words I was better off before the changes, and being of a suspicious nature, I wonder what sort of fiddle has gone on here. Has anybody else noticed a downturn in the last two months?

    No need to wait until the 6th. You can find out now if you're likely to be a high value winner. If not a few £25's on the 6th won't change your life!

    The odds say that you would win £0 one month in 5 - so not really a surprise. You need to monitor for much longer than two months before any suspicions of a fiddle are justified.
    loose does not rhyme with choose but lose does and is the word you meant to write.
