    Second month of 2x max holdings. Only one £25 for me and nothing for my wife. Last month I got nothing and she got 2 x £25.

    So in two months that's £75 between us, which is about half what we would expect with "average luck" (£100k x 0.9% = £900 annually, or £75 per month.) Hopefully the variance will swing back next month!

    Nothing for me on £31.5K but third month in a row for hubby of £25 on £9.5k 

    Which is nice as he went ages without winning anything :)

    Just £25 for me this time on a holding of around £42,500k, but I'm happy with whatever amount comes my way.
    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.

    Nothing for me this month on the max holding of £50K. Adding up the draw results since last September (when I started owning them) I've made a 0.65% return on them which is about the same as Marcus but obvs I can't compound as I'm already maxxed out. Marcus I could leave it there and it would compound. Of course if I win big then it beats Marcus.
    Trying hard to be a good moneysaver.
