    Don't forget to mention how many bonds you've got.  £25, even £50, would be a bit disappointing on a £50,000 holding, but a triumph on £1,000... ;)
  • A very solid start :) 

    Me just bought £50k nil in first draw (Aug); £75 in second one (Sept)
    Wife same £50k : £50 in first draw (Aug) and £525 in Sept

    My very first deposit was £100 June 2018, my first draw in Aug 2018 I won £500. Was mega welcome as I was in a car accident a month later and I could use the 500 towards a new car deposit.
    I've got around 5.5k saved now and had a couple of £25s over the last 4 years so it's about £675 altogether I've won now. But nothing won for around 1.5 years :( 
    Its a long slog when you've had the buzz of a few wins and get nothing else! Though I realise compared to some I've been very lucky!

    I want a re-draw this month  :)
  • 40K holding only £25 in first draw in sept 
    not terrible but not great either 
    If you want to be rich, never, ever have kids ;)
  • Are all winnings shown on the ns&i checker?  I mean, if you win it big would it show on there?  Any millionaires here to verify please? 😽
    Just my opinion, no offence 🐈
