Last month when first viewing 'transactions' it appeared that we'd got nowt too,
but a couple of days later it showed that we'd won thousands ......

Mrs is now down to 17K holdings - I'm on 30k
Mrs = zero
Me = £25
= £500 in 10 months
First time of nothing for either of us this month.

Our holdings will start being reduced now (and may even be completely depleted by the end of the month) as the builder has started on our extension.

WOW

Mrs - £30k = Nowt
Me - 40k = £25

This is getting really silly now.

Cashed mine in last year as the wins seemed to dry up completely after a good first 12 months.

£25 here, to give you all hope:

One of this months £1m win was holding £10k
Someone in Cardiff holding £300 won £50k
£2k in Herts won £25k

Probably the best one was last month when someone in Leeds holding £400 won £1m....

Thanks for giving us all some hope!

Quoted it in the vein belief that it will help us with some good luck!

I managed the usual poultry £25 win this month.

Well that's the most encouraging 'actual' win I've heard in a very long time!

I was averaging a £25 win every 3 months, but not won anything since July 2014 (with the same amount invested).

But like many others have said, putting it in an ISA or similar is pretty worthless too. Especially if like me you want access to the money.
