btw, I thought they always reveal the prize on the 4th of the month, how comes it's already out with it being the 2nd?  Not complaing. Just wondering.

The high value results are released on the 1st working day of the month, the remaining results are released on the 2nd working day of the month.

What's your secret? In all those seven months you've only had one worse than my best month. My wins this year have been 50,  0, 100, 125, 50, 50, 100 and 75. Still only one £100 prize ever, though I 'should' win nine a year now, and £125 is my best ever month though that is now below par, even ignoring prizes of £500+. I keep telling myself my luck will change but I'm beginning to doubt it.

Does it matter - it's an 18 year old thread and the OP hasn't been here for over 10 years. I think it's fabulous that it's still going.

If people don't like the direction it has taken, they're perfectly welcome to just ignore it, same as I do with the many threads I know nothing about.

Agreed. I enjoy checking up on this thread at the start of a month once the results are in. I confess to experiencing a slight feeling of smugness when I win £25 on my £6,000 holding, as I did this month, and then read that people with much larger holdings have not won anything…

You should have seen how happy my sister was in getting £100 on a £2k holding!  I must admit I'm feeling a bit smug at the moment (sure to be short-lived) as I'm running at 5.11% on the rolling year and 4.something% since I started. 

In the early days I had a full holding and only won several £25s in the first 6 or 7 months, but since I took more than half out to fund a fix, I've done rather better (their increase in prizes and reduced odds obviously helped) - with 7 x £100 wins this year (three were last month) and a few £50s.  I added a bit more in, but none of those have won anything yet.  So, for now, I'm going to stick with my modest £22k and hope that it remains lucky.  It was only ever there temporarily, as my emergency fund, until I decided where to put it longer term, but it's doing okay for me for now, so I'll leave it be.

That is good - and pretty consistent.  I make that 6.1%, which is up with the very best of the alternatives, with monthly interest.  I thought mine was decent with over 5%.  I hope it continues for you.

Ha, cheers so do I.
I have seen so many posts where the poster has gone quite a few months without a win on max holding.

I do feel a bit disappointed with  a winning month of just £75 but I then think of those poor posters who win SFA in a month, it does make me feel lucky then.  A bit.
