The notional - if that's the right word - rate of interest is about 1%. 1% on £100 is £1. Over 24 years that's um, £24, so a £25 prize is just about spot on.

Was it still c. 1% back in the days when base interest rates were 5%+, though?

In inflation adjusted terms the £100 invested 24 years ago has the same buying power as c. £50 today!

That's dreadful. You are very unlucky.

It’s not

Yeah, I wouldn'd describe it as dreadful, but it is more unlucky than lucky.

As with everything, New Website, Worse service.

Wont recognise holders numbers and no prize results. I want to know if I made £25 or £0 immediately.

[greygoose]

£25 on 18k.

[mike74]

£75 on max holding.

Yep st new website. Looks like it's designed for 5 year olds rather than a serious financial website.

Can now only view some of your prize history for the last few months, need to log in to view your full history, which seems a bit pointless.

[The Mad Monk]

I can't get any results.

[loskie]

£75 on the full amount

Dreadful, tacky new website.

[Sochaux]

£25 on £30,000.

[condor]

£25 for me too. Also not impressed with the new website.

[cml24]

£25 on £26k. Not the £525 I got last month, but I'd be happy if I kept getting something!

[EarlOfHazard]

£75 on 50k

Heehaw on ten bags.

Same as last month.

Nothing for me this month. And the new prize checker page doesn't work on Edge, only on Chrome. And it doesn't remove the "-" that I've always put into my holders number, because that's how it is shown on the paperwork.
