    My lucky streak this year seems to be continuing. I won one prize, worth £100. This brings my total for 2023 to £650. On a holding of £25,500 that's an annualised return of 4.4%. Not bad at all. Hopefully my luck continues as the expected returns increase in August.

    £75 (25+50) for me on £8k holding.  The £50 was from a £100 group of bonds I bought in January this year.  Happy with that.
    Well done, that's quite good on 8k holding.
    S.F.A  for me so far but I like the thrill of guessing what I have won before I open up the email that normally comes around 3 days or so after the draw.  That is if I get an email this month.

    I always check just after 11:30 pm but then remembered I’m currently on a cruise ship running on European time! Another hour to wait…
    Even if you don't get a prize my sympathy is somewhat diminished :p Enjoy the cruise!

    Just £25 this month   ;)
    You do like volatility ;)! My volatility isn't quite so high - £125 this month vs £850 last month.

    I've just removed £8,000 (of £10,000) as I've won nothing in the last 6 or 7 draws and I can guarantee getting at least 4% elsewhere, so that's what I'm doing.  I think I've won £100 in the last year from £10,000.
    They keep saying they are increasing winnings, but I don't think the chance of winning is going up, so that doesn't really help to win anything.

    The chance of winning is going up form Augusts draw. Instead of 24000/1 its 22000/1

    Seems a lot quieter on here than normal. Maybe lots of people did withdraw their money after all.
