Another £50 for me - i'll update my spreadsheet soon to check on the annual rate of return.....
I deleted my spreadsheet because it was taunting me.

I also decided that calculating my return was pointless, because I wasn't going to move the cash elsewhere to get a better return anyway, and if I won a decent amount, I wouldn't realy care about the return %age. My PB 'investment' is not instead of something else.

The same thought process as me...

Anyway, nothing this month, but I did have a "bumper crop" last month of £150.

Recent speculator with PB's been signed up for 4 month so 3 draws. 2 x £25 so far on about £11k.

Not to be sniffed at.

First month back in the draw.

We invested full £100k in June “somewhere safe” after selling property.

Zero winnings!

I’m somewhat surprised as odds are 24500 to 1 to win a prize and with the maximum holding and simple law of averages I’d have expected to win something!

Oh well. Hopefully 8 prizes next month to make up!
Ha ha. 8 x £25 this month!

Obviously posting on PH does the trick!

Damn you all, nothing for me and the girlfriend this month on 25k and 10k.

I've had a pretty good run, she's not won a bean in months though!

The last 6 draws have given me £475 on £50k, so worth having in there.

Nothing this month after a good result last month. Seems to be a pattern developing where I win every 2 months.
