[The Ferret]

[BlindedByTheLights]

Nothing this month but I’d had a good run for the last six so don’t feel too bad

[TCEvo]

£50 this month - £200 so far this year, more than previous two years combined already. Heady times.

£525 on holding of £27000 . Thats the best win I have ever had on them.

Wow thats phonemenal! 23.3% interest equiv!

[HustleRussell]

3% this month- £125

2.4% average over 5 months.

Commiserations to those who have been unlucky. It’s a dilemma. I wonder what a statistician would say about what a run of some bad months means about your likelihood of prizes as the year goes on?

A win every month for the last 7 months - I can't complain even if they were between £25 and £100. Overall, I am well up on my investment. And the holding is £27,000 not £2,700 so 2.3% not 23.3

I was meaning its 23.3% annual rate of return as interest is usually stated in annual terms. So its 1.94% in one month, which is 23.3% per annum. Even more if you gross it up if your a tax payer...

[TwigtheWonderkid]

£525 on a combined £92K, best ever month. Seems odd that between us we can win 1 prize last month and 9 this month?

[stevensdrs]

I won 1 x £50 this month which doesn't cut the mustard given I can get 4% return on a cash deposit these days. I need to be hitting £175 a month return from my 50k holding to make it worthwhile. A £50 win feels like a blank in reality.

[Fonzey]

Nada.

[bmwmike]

£175 on 37k. Had a good year so far

[toon10]

£125 on 50k. I'm consistently under my brother this year on the same holding. Wonder if I can swap with him ;-)

[alscar]

£150 for me , £0 for my wife - both on max.
My 4th month in a row winning - of total won this year 80% mine.

[rigga]

1x £25
1x £50
1x £100

On just over 30k holdings.

[Enut]

So far I've had the max holding for 3 months, wins so far as follows:-

Feb zilch
Mar £25
Apr £25

I must be amongst those with the worst returns over the last 3 months, 0.1% isn't stunning is it? On the plus side it's only in there until the new car arrives!

[Portia5]

2 x £100
3 x £25

on £35k.

Best ever

[trickywoo]

£75 on £90k.

Might get the May draw before paying off the mortgage but won't be missing much if not.

[sh1ggsy]

£325 for me this month on £50k, 3.9% for the year.

[2fast748]

Nowt on my meagre £4.5K
