  • £50 winnings this month, 2 x £25:
    • One £25 winning from a batch of £4,000 purchased in 2020 (previously won five prizes totalling £125)
    • The other £25 from a £100 batch purchased in 1999 (that had already won a single prize of £100 many years ago).

    I,m intrigued at the unusual early morning times at which some people post their winnings on here.  Do they wait for the stroke of midnight to check their winnings, set an alarm clock or perhaps they,re working a night shift and fully operational anyway.?
    The  earliest I get to know my monthly fate is over my breakfast cuppa!

    Pretty much :)
    £175 on £50k. Like others picked up a £100 prize too, the number of £100 prizes did increase this month from 38k to 730k.

    2.7%.  Good start to the new regime.  Nice to win other than £25'ers.

    My first month on full holding and… nothing!

    Slight contrast to my good luck of £25 last month on just £5k. 

    Next month will be my last month before I withdraw the lot to buy my house. So, fingers crossed for better luck next time!
