No idea. Just anecdotal really.

The environment for young people is about as financially and “future” hostile as it can get right now.

Well Ladies and Gentlemen I received an envelope yesterday. 12 years ago my RBS ISA was paying naff all interest so I took 20K and bought PB's. Over the last 12 years I have probably done aswell as bank interest but my stars aligned yesterday and I got a 500% return on my initial investment! I am still stunned!
That's brilliant. Great to hear first hand about a big winner.
Well, yes, but he's just vastly reduced the chances of anyone else on PH hitting it big biggrin

I’m not sure it works that way.

You’re just as likely to win £1,000,000 one month as you are the next, even if you just won it the month before.

It's the argument that taking your own bomb on to a plane makes you safer, because what are the chances of 2 people independently taking their own bomb on. hehe

Has everyone received their pay outs this month.
I'm due a £75 win and not received anything into bank account yet. Usually receive the cheque before now and last months £25 arrived a few days into the month.
Thought I'd ask here before trying to contact them
Thanks

My Mother died in November, held £30K not a win for a while, however she did win £400 whilst probate was granted in December which was shared between my sister and I.

£20k added to my previous £180.....roll on 1st March, surely it must beat 0.5% in Marcus?

That's my theory, pretty much cleared out marcus, and the mrs has 50k in her account now, awaiting 1st march.
