    Nothing for the last 3 months on 50k. Absolutely pointless. 
    According to the odds checker the chance of you winning £25+ in 3 months if you have £50k holding is 99.8%.  Given the number of people with maximum holding, some people are going to be the unlucky 0.2% who get nothing over 3 months.  However, over 12 months the odds of you getting nothing with maximum holding is 
    1 in 43,251,734,611 - virtually impossible!

    2 x 25 on max holding. This brings me to £500 total winnings in the 9 months since I've had the max in PB's - not sure how to work out the equivalent interest rate?

    Make £2023 in 2023 (#36) £3479.30/£2023

    Make £2024 in 2024...

    Congrats & good luck for more wins in the future!
    I've had 3 x £25 wins for this months draw on £27,500. :) The only month I've not won something this year so far is Feb.
    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.

    I tried checking on the app just now and get the message that it's one day to wait until the next results on 3 June!  I wasn't aware that release of results was staggered like this, or is it just me?

    No win again on £15,000 holding. Only month i won was in February. A total of £50 in 7 month which is under 0.6%. 
    I guess i'm one of the unlucky ones so far.

    It did this last month too, I thought it might have been because it was a Saturday? But it righted itself, but some people deleted cookies or reinstalled the app and it worked
