2x £25, 1x £50, 1x £100 = £200 on £50k. Beats the big fat zero from last month. (£550 is the most I won in May '18. I liked that month....)

1 x £100 on max holding.
My first ever £100 win - never anything better - but only my second prize this year with max holding. 'Should ' have had at least six by now. Surely things have got to get better....0 -
So far this year I've won, on a £27.5k holding:
January - 1 x £100
February - Nothing
March - 2 x £50
So if my luck stays the same for the rest of the year that will be a return of about 2.9%, equivalent to about 4.83% if I was paying tax on it. Not bad for a (relatively) instant access account.1 -
£50 on £50k for me after £225 last month.

Zero for us this month after £5,025 last month, but then we did withdraw everything but a few hundred quid to pay builders so that is hardly surprising. I started rebuilding the balance again last week so will have a bit more in the April draw. The prize fund rate seems decent enough and I enjoy the excitement of checking the prizes each month so PBs are going to be the new home for my income tax fund.1
