Two max holding in the family. Just started this adventure and quite happy with how it has started. 

June  - £250 ___ £275

For the half yearly draw… £100 in June (2x £25, 1x £50). holding just over £42.5K It actually feels slightly disappointing that I got 3 prizes totalling a £100 but I guess in recent times I will take it as it’s a much better than nothing I suppose. 

Absolutely mad we have had half the draws for 2024 already! One interesting thing to note I have had 2 months of £200, 2 months of £100 and 2 months of £0 so far this year totalling £600. I’m probably still below average expected return for the 6 months so far but that can easily change.

Another blank month for me

That's 3 out of 6 blank so far this year on an average £45k holding. 

Jan  £0
Feb £25
Mar £0
Apr  £50
May £300
Jun  £0

If it wasn't for May I would be seriously thinking of giving up on them!

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 First £20K withdrawn this morning to fund an ISA.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 !

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.

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..

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

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).
