I put 2k in, in December last year and have added 2k a month up until now.

got 25 quid last month and 50 this month. so not bad.

i'll be cashing out the money in july to do work to the house so if I can get another 25 quid, 100 quid will be a reasonable return imo for holding for 6 months..

Yes that really is good news, congrstulations on your good fortune.

No winners for me this month on the few grand I have left in there, but it's great to know someone has had a good payout!
Thanks smile

Most I've ever had in 3 years is £75 so certainly was a shock!

What's the biggest single prize someone on here has won? I got a grand about 10 years ago (on about 15k at the time) and pretty much sod all since!

My Dad has done £10k and £5k, and lots of smaller ones.
He has (what used to be) max holding in 4 names though.

£5k for me with £11k holding. Never bothered to increase the holding and can't remember what I did with the £5k win but it must have been a blast

Nothing on 17ks worth today. Shame as I've only got another 3 draws left then need to liquidate the lot.

Hope you chaps have more luck

£0 on £20k holding. Second barren month in a row, bloody prize fund changes or something, probably.
