£100 - my largest win ever.

2023 PB's shaping up surprisingly well (£50 in Jan, £0 in Feb).

2 x £25 & 1 x £50 making a £100 this month on £50k. Not nearly as good as last months £650 but still not a bad month.

SFA on 22k (having moved max to ISA)

Come April will be maxing ISA, and then just £350 a month topping up/backfill the NS&I on the chance of winning big etc.

£25 on £50k. Disappointing versus previous months and way behind my brother on the same holdings.

Took me about 10 minutes of faffing about to get logged in to NS&I. Total of £200 on £50k for March, decent enough!

Returns have been consistently poor so I won't be disappointed when it goes to pay the mortgage off in May.

Nothing in December or January and then £375 in total February and March (max. holdings)

2.25% annual if I calculate on my first four months.

3 x £50 on £48k

Year to date £475 = so if the trend continues it'll be close to 4% return for year.

Had a few blank months at the end of last year though so on a rolling basis these really need taking into account. Topped up to max a few days ago so full holding for next month.

Once you hit max holdings I assume any winnings are paid out to your account as they can't be reinvested?

Correct - either direct to your nominated bank account or by cheque although they did try to stop this.
