Presumably you mean all governments then.
I’ve never met anyone who’s won 100k on the lottery either.0 -
After a couple of disappointing months I managed to nab myself 3 prizes of £100 each this month. Not bad for a £23k holding.
My average holding for this calendar year has been £26,040 and I have won £1,100 in the last 11 months. So an annualised return of 4.6% so far this year. Here's hoping a bumper December brings that average up.0 -

£50 for other half on max 50k, I withdrew all but 1k of my 50k 2 months ago, and was surprised to have a £50 win 😊. Other half wasn’t too impressed tho 😂1
