£25 on £26k holding. I've added a rolling average return to my spreadsheet which slightly underestimates the return as it works on the current hlolding and I re-invest winnings, and it stands at 4.8% over the last year.

I think it could be me, after a big fat zero last December I've had £7250 YTD on max holding, including a £5k in June and a £1k in September. Never known a year like it, I had a £1k back in March 2015 but otherwise it was a sea of £25s until recently.Sarahspangles said:

That said, my ex-wife's husband dropped £25k earlier this year on a partial holding and my brother's best mate also won £25k last month (size of holding unknown).5 -
