    Anecdotally it does seem like people get better than average luck in the first couple of draws. 
    There is zilch evidence for that 'anecdote'.

    £125 on £50K. Averaged 1.4% over the last 12 months, mainly on £25 wins. Not so brilliant the total average over the last 6 years at 2.13% per annum but there's the monthly excitement, followed by the monthly disappointment.

    Do I feel lucky? I think so, Ive won £25 for each of the last 3 months on a holding of £1000.
