£25 for me on circa 43k which is nice as I took 2k out last month
£100 (4 x 25) for hubby on 36k ish. He tends to win in chunks whereas. I tend to get smaller but more frequent wins.
Going to top out to max in a few weeks so will be interesting to see if that changes our luck.0 -

wowow said:I noticed something last night, if you check from 11.45 it tells you this months (Feb) win prize but will have the previous month above it - until one minute past midnight
Even earlier than that - I got in first last night with my post timed at 11:32.
My wife refuses to check until breakfast time.
I got £150 this month and she didn't get anything, both on under £40k. A reversal of how it was last year, she generally beat me the whole year. I've twice had 3 blank months in a row, with the lowest holding being over £36k.0 -
My 18 month dry spell is finally over, a ginormous £25 win on a £5200ish holding 😭0

3.5% gross is not attractive to those of us that have to pay tax on savings.0 -
