It's why you see some people who grumble at winning £25 on a full £50k holding when others win 4 x £25 on a £10k holding (or something similar) - it's the luck of the draw (even if a number of theorists seem to believe that newer bonds have a better chance of winning than older bonds - or other such ideas...)MrFrugalFever said:It’s always too good to be true…..a fact of life!0 -
