Hope your luck changes for the better, hope mine keeps getting better.  Good luck.WH_Saint said:

4th straight blank on a full holding. Statistically that's quite some run of bad luck ! First £20K withdrawn this morning to fund an ISA.

Congrats to those doing better than me !

Nothing on my £50k this time - my first blank in a long time, but my wife got £1175 so total return for the month is OK..

Thank you. I've been doing ok so far this year on a max holding.

But today yielded a £5k! Plus a £50. Happy days.

Well done to you, you don't often see big prizes on here. 

£150 for OH on Max holding and £50 for me on £30k

Second blank in a row on full holding. It's getting annoying now.  I've never had that, even when the rate was at the very lowest

01/02/24  250

Interesting thing is the very different return on 2x max holdings, showing the nature of "chance".

For the 1st 6 draws of 2024, one £50k holding has returned £1050 in prizes, the other £2225.

So overall £3275 (on £100k) tax free, in 6 months. 

(Total prizes over last 12 months are £6175, so a tax free return of over 6% -  quite happy with that).

That is terrible luck! You're more likely to win the 50k prize in any given month than get for £0 in a row on 50k.

£250 on FH. Happy that’s an improvement on past few months🙂

Thank you, yes, it's still sinking in. Partner hasn't picked up the message yet but as we're in Rome next week I think my list of potential trattorias to eat in may get upgraded to include at least one ristorante.

The Rome trip itself is a direct result of the thread about the difficulties of overcoming the mental block of spending hard earned savings. We are properly going for it, city centre 4* hotel and skip-the-line tickets! 

I may look to upgrade my 9 year old phone when we're back. But don't want to get too carried away!

I took out £25k last month to do the same, replenish Emergency Fund and top up ISA. But I left £25k in, which I'm quite happy to leave for the "fun" of it. Last month with full holding I got £100, this month on half holding I got £250, go figure. My miissus on full holding got £25 and she's naturally disappointed, even though I did point out that she "won" £1350 in April, which she had forgotten about!
