    Disappointing, max holding and got £25, nothing last month and £25 in June. I guess this is pay back for the £100 back in April. I know it's better than nothing but I guess I came to expect more. I am thinking of looking into investing as this isn't floating my boat any more! Thank goodness it's not zero though!

    I have a £3k block from April 2019 which won 5 x £25 in 2019, and 1 x £25 in 2020.

    1 x £25 on my lucky £3k block from April 2019!

    4th consecutive month of no prize... with £16-20k in PB during this entire period. 

    How unlucky is that? 

    Even assuming 16k throughout, 46% chance to win each month (54% chance not to win). No wins for four consecutive months = 0.54^4 = 8.5%. 

    It's okay, I'll get the million next month and it will all balance out...

    2 x £25 on 50k

    Not convinced in the conspiracy theory against maximum holders above at all. after 8 months mines working out to an annual return of 3.12%
