    £50 on about £6k for me. Happy enough with that, and that it was from a £25 investment last July :)

    £250 for me on FH (2 x £100, 1 x £50)
    Nothing for OH on FH but he has had some good months recently so not a surprise

    Last April I won £750 so my rolling average has dropped quite a bit, must be due a few good months  ;)
  • £100 this month on full holding from a £5,000 batch purchased in 2021.

    10k = £0

    Only time I have won anything was £25 way back in June 2023. Have I been unlucky?

    I could get an extra £50 a month with savings so I'm going to pull the plug today but I have the feeling next month could be my month  :# no ticket = no prize

    Two months in a row without any win on full holding. The performance, full holding throughout, for the last tax year has not been stellar but also not totally terrible. I have bust my PSA, and I’d have needed an account returning at least 4.5% to get the same return in interest. Such accounts were obviously available over the last 12 months but none of them is offering the monthly excitement of may be winning big 😂

    Still, it might be time to reconsider whether I want to effectively spend 40 quid or more a month gambling. £40 a month after tax is what I could reasonably have made more in savings accounts. Not interested in gambling more than I already do in investments, and my pension is sorted. I might just simply spend the lot on travel now ✈️🚢🌎🏖️😎

    3 x £100 plus £25 on nearly full holding.
    This takes me to £3,125 in the last year on approx £47k. Better than I would have got in savings.

    My best month this year! £50 on a £40k holding  :#

    So far this year I've had two blank months and one at a measly £25, far short of what I'd have earned in interest in an easy access account  :(

    £375 family total on 3x full holding. A step down from last month when it was only slightly more than that, but nearly all of it was mine :hushed:
