    All bit of a damp squid for me. An 8k punt 6 months ago but no wins at all. The thing is if I put it into Income Bonds I would be getting £15 a month interest. So it has cost me £90 already. I'll give it the full year then move it elsewhere. I think that is enough chances.

    Only £75 on full holding :( I know some will have “won” nothing but I’m still disappointed as this has been a run of bad luck.

    Though this is the first month it’s been full holding but it was still almost £40k before and I’ve been getting £25 or £50 or nothing for most of this year.

    4 prizes this month on a full holding - 2 x £25 and 2 x £50 - £150 all-in.

    Aug 22 - £ No win
    Sep 22 - £75
    Oct 22 - £75
    Nov 22 - £75
    Dec 22 - £75
    Jan 23 -£225
    Feb 23 - £50
    Mar 23 - £125
    Apr 23 - £225
    May 23 - £150
    Jun 23 - £25
    Jul 23 - £150


    £1250 for the rolling year - so I make that a 2.5% return... Marginally higher than my rolling return last month, worse than an instant access saver - but I'm here for the short-term chance rather than than the long term, as it won't be long before the money goes into a house purchase.

    I have £325 this month on £22k holding.  3 x £100, 1 x £25. 

    I've definitely done better since they increased the prize ratios - that's 6 x £100s since December.  I think I'm running at around 4.5% on a rolling year - but my balance has fluctuated, so hard to be precise.

    £0 on full holding this month, not a good start to my second year.
