    So all the hogwash about needing to buy a block of £50,000 bonds to have a decent chance of winning doesn’t seem supported.
    It's like a village raffle with 100 tickets - if you buy 30 tickets then you have an "increased chance" of winning, but then the old granny at the back with 1 single ticket might win and beat you to it!

    It's entirely random :)
    Yes but what if she’s YOUR granny, more likely because it’s a village raffle!? Look after granny.
  • Prizes are up - 2x £25 on 32k holding. Total of £175 in my first three draws, super pleased with that 😊

    No win for me this month. 
    Do you all think the higher the holdings the higher will be the chance to win or just random.

    My last 3 wins might just be beginners luck then

    Nothing on £40k.... rolling total of £275 for the year or around 0.69% but the website says that if I want I can look at what others have won to make me feel better!

    Let’s just look on the sunny side, there's always next time. Why not take a look at how March's prizes were won.
