    First draw for me.

    £50k holding - £25 won. 

    I'm not going to lie, a slight anticlimax.

    3rd month of nothing on £40k   :(
    How's it going, AKA, Nutwatch? - 12 month spends to date = 2.60% of current retirement "pot" (as at end May 2025)
  • 3 x £25 winnings this month (£75 total). I have recently increased my overall holding to £45,000.

    £25 on maximum holding.

    Does anybody think there's any chance of NSI maximum holding being increased so that we could once  again start reinvesting our prize money in extra bonds?
