    Just £50 on full holding. Something at least🙂 - no blank months for a while. Yearly interest not looking great though so far 🙁

    1 x £100 and 1 x £25 on £48k holding - 3.35% yield so far since January.  Not fantastic but there is still room for improvement when my big win comes in! B)

    £200 on £22k.   44 prizes in 29 draws, only 7 blank months.  Brings my rolling year total to a smidge over 6% - I'd dropped a bit after 2 poor months - although I've not gone below 5% in the 15 months since I started actually recording it. 

    My prizes now total 11.7% of my current holding - which if I've worked it out right, would suggest an average return of 4.8% since I started (my holding has fluctuated) - which sounds about right, as I didn't do as well in the early days before they added more £100 and £50 prizes.

    Another £25 on a £11k holding. Reduced down from £15k last month.

    Thats £1150 this year. Prize every month. Above average return even if I don’t have anymore wins this year.

    Same, 2x £50s and a £25.

    £1800 YTD or 4.8%.

    2023 was only 2.27%.
