[Harold]

Missus got 50K and 50 quid. Unreal scenes this morning. 14K holding. It does happen.

 

[knocky1]

[Super Sub]

I was in my first draw today. Nothing in win history and no email suggesting anything and so I guess its nothing for month 1. I thought they might add a no win comment to the history just so I know I was in it but, again, I'm guessing this isn't the way it works

Not quite sure whats to be annoyed. Its a lottery each month but you keep your stake if you win or not. Think of it as nothing else.

We have multiple accounts in this house with near 100k spread. We win something most months mainly small and never massive. This month we got nothing.

Keep with it is my advice , you may win or you may not but you will never lose

I got annoyed last week when I didn't win the Euro Millions jackpot

 

[Mr Bridger]

£300 and £100 in my favour.

Do they take some out sometimes then?

 

[Super Steve Earle]

I have had two for over half a century. Won nothing. I'm thinking about dumping them. Useless investment.

 

[Hudson Hawk]

£100, £50, £25 = £175 on a 25k investment.

Second month/draw in, £50 on the 1st draw.

You won't get the email yet.....best thing to do is get the prizechecker app

Similar . £200 for me. £800 for Mrs Nobo, as I like to call her

 

[WildWood]

Completed my first year of 50k holding (on & off). I won 2k over the 12 months, which is pretty much exactly what I would have got if i'd stuck it in a high interest account. I only blanked once throughout the year and my highest win in one month was £550.

Fast forward to today. I won £25!!

I know you’re joking but there are many people who seem to think it’s a level playing field whether you have 1 bond or 50,000.

It is, for each £1

Anyway, only £100 between us this month (all mine, thankfully ) on max holding.

Exactly. One £25 win over 625 years would give a 4% return excluding inflation.
Needs fact checking.

 

[Marshy]

£200 today so im happy with that
