  • 1 x £25 for me on the max holding this month.
  • 1 x £50 for me this month
  • £50k holding, nothing in July, nothing in August and only £25 this month.

    Here's hoping I'm just building up to a biggie:)
  • £25 from max holding. Perfectly happy with that (not least as that takes me to 17 consecutive winning months) but was slightly underwhelmed after seeing the "bumper crop" graphic on the app! I guess it's the same "well done" or "tough luck" graphic for everyone each month, regardless of how much one has won.

    My husband and I (no, my name isn't Elizabeth) have the full £100K holding, Today, another £150 in the coffers. We've won every month - mostly a few of the £25 and once a £100. Current return is about 1.4%. I have no problems with that..... other than having to bank 7+ warrants!
    #2 Saving for Christmas 2024 - £1 a day challenge. £325 of £366
  • £25 for me and £50 for husband . I think we have around £20k in Bonds.

    Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology: Terry Eagleton

    I put up with that for a while before I cottoned on to the convenience of opting to have any winnings paid into my bank account. I'd recommend it as I wouldn't want to go back to the old way now!

    I used to quite enjoy paying in my winnings but had to swap to direct paying in when our bank branch closed :-(

    You are our mirror image then, as our take this month was £100.

    Why not get NS&I to bank your winnings for you? All the loot in your bank account(s) on, about, the 8th of the month.
  • Another £25 - 3rd month in a row on 12k holding. I'll settle for that pattern continuing.
