Nothing for the second month on £49k. 

Used to get regular prizes but ever since the recent changes I’ve gotten nothing. 

If this carries on will have to seriously think about moving some funds out.

I know opinion is divided, but probably like you, I would have preferred only 1 million monthly prize with more smaller monthly prizes, so those who have a substantial holdings (my wife and I each have £50k) the return tends to be quite close to the percentage allocated to prizes. But it helps keep me out of the 60% tax band, so I will stay put for now, and it is a bit of fun once a month to see what happens.

3 x £25 on the max holding, not been as lucky as last year recently so this was a nice start to January

I,m another one in favour of small prizes, especially at the moment when spreading a little more cheer around the nation, when so many people hold bonds, would be welcome

But putting aside opinions about whether or not this would be a good idea, it's a mathematical fact that doing so would only increase the number of prizes by no more than about 1.3%, so realistically it would have little effect....
