    I see that neither of the £1m winners had anything close to the max holding this month. One £10k and one £17k. Two of the £100k winners also had only about £12k holdings too. There’s hope for us small fry yet!

    Also noticed someone with a £15k holding bought in July has won £10k in their first draw. Nice result there.

    Nothing this month. Only £100 in total on £15,500 holding from Dec-19 draw. Reduced my holding to £10k now.

    Just a single £25 for me on £30,500 holding.
    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 bought £35k of PBs a couple of months ago. I opened the prize checker app this morning and when I hit 'reveal results' it said "Bumper crop" with a photo of a very happy lady holding up some carrots. I ran to comb my hair in anticipation of Agent Million's impending visit, but my excitement did not last long: 2 x £25.

    Never mind!    It's a mini moment of excitement checking the results every month, and unlik e a raffle, at least we still keep  our money if we don,t win.  (Admittedly its value is decreasing with inflation but that's another matter)  and in these dreary times all excitement, however small, is welcome. 
  • I do like having a look through the big winners (nosy I know!) - someone has won £5k from a £50 bond bought in December 1965! Another £5k has gone to someone with just £10 in total, bought in 1978. 
    It gives me hope somehow (£25 off ~£12k for me this month).
