    £1,175 this month off a holding of just under £61k (split between me and wife) - 1x£25, 1x£50, 1x£100, 1x£1000.

    Previous biggest ever win was £475 in August so on a nice run in the short term.

    Total for 23/24 financial year so far is now up to £2125, so a rate of about 6.97%. Can't see that lasting!
  • Nothing this month on ~20k, but similar to others I've had a reasonable return so far this year so can't grumble!

    Just 1 x £100 on a full holding, which makes this year to date about 3.50%.
    Not great but a lot better than 2022 where my return on a full holding was 0.73%.

    Incidentally I've just noticed that the bond I won £1000 with today was a bond from an auto-reinvestment of a £50 win in May this year. We have purposely split our bonds between myself and my wife so that both accounts are kept under £50k to allow all prizes won to be reinvested - really glad we did that now!
  • £25 on full holding. £875 in total YTD - an interest rate of 1.75%.

    Not good.
