    Not a sausage for my £31,600 holding this month. :'(
    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.

    Since the new rates, £100 again - on a double full holding; so well ahead.
    AND they've got the purchase date sorting correctly - at last. :)

    I know opinion is divided, but probably like you, I would have preferred only 1 million monthly prize with more smaller monthly prizes
    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....
    It makes enough difference for me to want it (that is where my opinion comes into it) if it doesn't make enough difference for you want it that is where your opinion comes into it.

    My post wasn't expressing any opinion about whether or not I want it, but was simply observing the fact that your preferred alternative would only generate 1.3% more prizes, which is objectively a small increase by any measure (but all the more so in the context of the recent prize fund reduction of nearly 30%).
