    Last month £325, this month £250. Holding £45,000.

    Mister CJ has £50k in bonds but seldom wins more than me each month so it’s probably not worth me buying any more.

    2 x £50 on full so a bit below par

    My first ever win - £100 on a £580 holding! Very happy with that, I didn't expect to win anything with such a small holding.

    I've been just adding spare change (£30 or so) each month for the thrill as an alternative to throwing my money away with the lottery
    Congratulations, any win on a £580 holding is unusual. The equivalent percentage interest rate must be quite high.

    Never let the perfume of the premium overpower the odour of the risk

    Well done! I thought I'd done well with £100 on a £1,000 holding.
    With that holding you'd expect to win a prize (of any amount) about once every 3 years.
    And when you do win it is roughly equal odds it will be a £25, £50 or £100 win. Well not quite equal (see below).
    So you've hit lucky twice there, mainly in winning at all, but also in winning £100 not £25 or £50.
