When I put the number in and click, nothing happens, does that mean there are no results to show? i.e. I haven't won?
No.

It means I need to clear my cookies (or something), which I do and then find that I have won £100.

Nothing this month but 1.3% return for the year

Wasn’t this the first month where the prize pot went from 1.4% to 1%...?

Trouble is if you want no risk and instant access there isn’t much else out there. Even Marcus is 0.7% now...

Single £25 win on 50k giving 1.20 % for this year. So so, but better than last year.

Woh. Is that an app? Or your own s/s. If it's an app could you share the name?

Mine and my wife's win percentage for the year = 1.0%, which is almost as good as most short notice deposit accounts.

She's let the side down. Last year she was at 2.55% smile

That’s the way I’ve figured it.

The probability is good you’ll match the return in a normal accessible saving account, plus no tax concerns.

Then on top is a probability of bigger wins.

It’s a no brainer imo.
It’s like a normal savings account that also buys you free lottery tickets with preferential odds every month.
