£200 on about £75k or so.

I basically have to beat £150 or so for it to beat a 5% bank account so fine by me.

£150 on £50K this month, so not brilliant but when you take tax into account that's still better than I could get in the bank.

Opened up an account for the 3 kids in September - Eldest has £2,100 in his account and today has just won his first prize of £50. He can't have it, but he'll be over the moon with that.

£350 on £50k. 6 different prizes, don't think I've seen that many before (would prefer one big one!).

Reasonable month for us, with 5 and 3 wins respectively, £300 for me and £250 for the mrs, both with max holdings.

That's a rolling £2975 for me and £1775 for the mrs over the last 12 months - we've both won at least one prize for the last 18 months in a row!

So 4.75%, which is not bad - we'd have struggled to get 4.75% tax free a year ago even on a fixed rate ISA.

£125 on ~£42k, that’s it for me, all cash withdrawn to pay off the mortgage! (Well mortgage balance is £37k, no point leaving £5k in there IMO rather have it in my 5% Cash ISA).
