    Nothing this month on max holding, that is one year held now with a 1.50% gross equivalent return, in a few years when I move to the 60% tax band (when my pension will exceed my salary and I can no longer avoid tax on that income by investing it in my pension), that would be a 2.25% gross equivalent return. So overall I am happy enough.

    I looked overnight in my account and thought I hadn't won anything but the prize checker now shows £25. My run continues! 

    May 2x £25 on £25k
    June 1x £1000 and 1x £25 on £39k
    July 1x £25 on £40k 

    My wife has won 2 x £25 in the same time on the same holding.

    Sadly I don’t think you will win much with £1000

    theres people on here with £50k that quite often win £0
    Whilst the chances are they won’t win big with £1000 you only have to look through the high value prizes to see that not everyone that wins has 50k invested.  looking at this months the best example that jumped out at me was the lucky !!!!!! in Wiltshire who invested £300 in February 2010, still only holds a total of £300 but this month won £25 grand 
    Yes people with small amounts do win but it is very unlikely for any given person with a small amount. 

    With £1,000 invested, with average luck you would win £25 once every three years or so. But it wouldn’t be especially unlucky to go much longer than that without a win.

    1 x £25 on max holding, my luck was definitely better in the first 12 months of holding but currently running at .7% for my second year so not too bad really

    £25 on 48.5k for me and £25 on 2.5k for middle son. I've averaged £25 per month since Sept last year with a holding ranging from 20k to its present value. Happy enough with that :)

    Nothing for me again on £22.5k
    Nothing for OH on £7.5 (and he is yet to win anything at all since opening about 7 months ago)

    Not very lucky in this house it seems.

    Just 1x £25 for me again this month on a £42,100 holding. I'm sure I'd get dreadfully over excited to win a prize above £25.   :D
    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.
