    What do those with max holdings do to minimise the temptation to spend the small winnings? Surely the point of it is to reinvest them somewhere or are you just holding out for a big win? 
    I transfer it to Mrs RP's PB account which isn't maxed out.
    loose does not rhyme with choose but lose does and is the word you meant to write.
  • Since retiring my monthly income is of course a lot smaller. So this months win means I can pay off my credit card in full as usual. Instead of taking it out of my Virgin M account.

    1 x £25 for me and 2 x £25 for other half.  Both hold 50k each.    Guess we should be are happy with that.
  • £25 for me on £50K
    I have won 10 times out of 12 last year - sometimes 25, 50 or 75
    I would love to have a couple zeros added to those figures, but at least I am winning something
