    With my basic maths I think that with max holding and average luck the long-term average winnings should be at least £575 per year.

    A couple of £25 'wins' per month would indicate that it's not going to be a complete waste of time then! I'll see what happens once my full holding is eligible, then start complaining shortly afterwards.

    Basic maths is nearly ok though you can't talk about average and then say "at least"

    - for an equal number of people this will be "the most" they win :)

    Just 1 x £25 on £40K for me this month. Edit - only 1 x £25 showing on website but just checked the app and it says 3 x £25 so that's a bit more like it after getting zilch last month.

    Last 12 month look like this, I've had £40K for 6 months and before that about £20K-ish.

    Biggest win ever was £1000 but that was a good few years ago now when prize fund was much bigger, although my holding was lower.

    1 x £25 on £22k for me .... return over last 12 months has been 1.3%, which tax free is an OK return (as part of a bigger portfolio).

    1 x £25 for me on £4,975 (winnings reinvested). Working on a return of 2%.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
