There's some analysis and discussion of this on a dedicated thread:

Edit: that link no longer works as the thread was unceremoniously absorbed into the 'official' MSE one:

Based on max holding of £50K only since  April, my wins for this year total £550... I'm very happy with that.

How would I work out my percentage?

550/50000/3x4 x 100 = 1.47% 

Assuming you were in April's draw.  

The winnings divided by your holding times 100 gives the percentage for a full year. Dividing by 3 and multiplying by 4 gives the annual percentage for 9 months draws (three-quarters of a year) 

Thank you

3rd month in a row with zero winnings on a £32k holding.

I got the max amount of £50 k a year ago when interest rates were v dire, but disappointingly I've only won £450 in that time ie 0.9%

I'm wondering if anyone else has put their holders number in the prize checker webpage today and got the "sorry no luck this time" message? I wondered if they've updated it a day earlier than expected? I won a prize last month so I'm wondering why it's now changed to this message today?

Mine says 2 days until the next results on 4 January.

Yes mine also says that on the main page, but after I put in my holders number another message appears saying "sorry no luck this time", which is a new message compared to a few days ago as I won a prize in December, so I wondered why it would now show this if it wasn't the Jan result.

Hi,

the app says 4th as well.

The January draw isn't made until tomorrow, it's just a data glitch I suspect.
