Blimey!

What sort of holding, and how was that made up, one big one and a 25?

My suggestion,

  • Put your cash savings into proper savings or investments, and
  • Buy an occasional lottery ticket if you feel the need!

I think a lot of us did and do just that.

Going back to the early days of this thread, it seemed that quite a few of us were so fed up with poor returns elsewhere we bashed a chunk of our cash into PB just for the fun of the chance for a win.

Seems the returns on PB like everything else has taken a turn for the worse too!

So where shall we all put our cash next I wonder?

Personally I'm kicking myself for turning down the option to buy 1000 biit coins at a few quid a peice back in 2010, i would have been a rich man now!

Still Cest la vie!

Got a £25 win this month on 30K. Have decided to max out so will have the full investment in next months draw.
Getting nothing in the bank these days so might as well chuck it into the PBs.

Wife just checker hers, her best month ever too 1 x £1,000 plus 1 x £25.

We out the money in PB rather than the bank for a few months....today makes the whole thing well worth while for us!
