  • Itook some money out so this is the first month of less than £50k since February, (I now have £42k), and won absolutely nothing

    Therefore, you are now wondering if the withdrawn numbers would have won.

    Ha ha. Did not think of it that way, rather, thought I still had 42,000 chances to win a prize. Clearly I am not that lucky

    Nothing in October. Only £25 in September and nothing in August. On the £50,000 I have in the draw I think that makes a three month average of 0.2%. I’d have got £167 (taxable) in Tesco bank internet saver over the same period.
  • I reduced my holdings to £30k and no win this month. At least when I had £50k I won every month, just not big enough prizes!

    I seem to be luckier than most. I have a holding of £25,000 and so far this year I have had prizes in 8 of the 10 draws totalling £350.

    Last year it was prizes in 9 of the 12 draws totalling £375 so It's fairly consistent.

    Still waiting for that elusive big win though :)

    So the first draw they were eligible for was Oct 17 and this is what I’ve won...
    Oct 17 - zero
    Nov 17 - zero
    Dec 17 - £25
    Jan 18 - zero
    Feb 18 - £25
    Mar 18 - zero
    Apr, May, Jun, Jul 18 - zero
    Aug 18 - £75 (3 x £25)
    Total £150
    I’m pleased with that. Interestingly the bonds that won were all from the £11,000 block.
    Not really surprising, out of every 20 prizes you would expect around 19 to come from the £11000 block. As you have had 5 prizes above there is a 77.5% probability that they would have all come from the larger block.
    loose does not rhyme with choose but lose does and is the word you meant to write.
  • Got three this month on £30k

    2 x £25
    1 x £100

    Based on 12 months, currently running at £525 in total this year, so 1.75% at least ... reasonably happy with that ...
  • 1 x £50 on £50k holding.
    Ninety-three year old Dad got 2 x £25 on £30k.
    I do hope that it doesn't go to his head. ;)
  • Won £150 on £50K yielding 1.15% (£575)

    Previous wins
    18/19: May £50, Jun £75, Jul £75, Aug £200, Sep £25
    17/18: 0.9% - Nov £25, Dec £75, Jan £25, Feb £100, Mar £25, Apr £125
