Me too! Plus, you still have the cash even if you win nowt....... win, win all roundllcomper said: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

Amazing! You've doubled your money, effectively getting your stake back. From now on everything else you win is a bonus! Very nice position to be in.

Looking at my purchase history, I held £20K in PB in 2002 - that may have been the maximum holding at the time? I didn't add more until 2016 to increase it to £50K. I know I delayed getting the max as the returns I received were poor then.
