2 x £25 for me Smile

UnfinishedBunting · 02/09/2021 07:35

2x £25 here 🙂

Clickncollect · 02/09/2021 07:39

£125 for me (5 x 25) on full holdings for me! That’s my best month so far. Very pleased.

fedup078 · 02/09/2021 07:43

£75 again ,2 months in a row 😀

LarsErickssong · 02/09/2021 07:46

£25 for me on £45k, after 2 months of nothing I was hoping for a bit more but oh well!

barofsoap · 02/09/2021 07:46

2*£25 last month too

LarsErickssong · 02/09/2021 07:48

@Rugsofhonour

Do you all work out what % return you are making on your investment?

Several people have said £25/month on a ~£30k holding which is really bad. Even £50 per month would be pretty bad.

Yes but not on a month by month basis as obviously winnings fluctuate throughout the year. I work it out each May as that's the anniversary of when I first invested. So far I have made 3-4% overall each year.
NatMoz · 02/09/2021 07:53

We had a good month this month. £25x 5 for me and £25x3 for my husband both on maximum holdings (for now, we'll have to pay for our extension soon).

ScarlettSunset · 02/09/2021 08:00

£25 for me. I didn't win anything last month so I'm happier this month

Parky04 · 02/09/2021 08:09

£25 for me and £25 for DP (maximum holdings for both).

Littlegoth · 02/09/2021 08:10

£25 and £100 for me! Very happy!

Brings my total to £175 this year on 3k holdings

Sunshinedrops85 · 02/09/2021 08:22

The amount we started off together with last year was 11k, but we added slowly to it in drips and drabs. Now the amount is close to 31k across three accounts, but not all of it has been eligible to be counted into the draw at the same time. We won £150 together in one year of holding them. One of my bank accounts has a interest rate of 0.01% . My sister in a two year fixed account got 0.40% .

In my account I have less money in premium bonds, then I do in my Lisa or stocks and share account.

My other family member doesn't want any risk at all.

wheresmyshoe · 02/09/2021 08:33

Nothing on £1200 but I'll keep building it up.

LarsErickssong · 02/09/2021 08:45

@Littlegoth

£25 and £100 for me! Very happy!

Brings my total to £175 this year on 3k holdings

That's fab!
Eileen101 · 02/09/2021 08:50

Nothing here Sad on £5kish between the two DC or on £2k for me. Maybe next month.

userxx · 02/09/2021 09:14

Zilch 🤷‍♂️

Juliecloud · 02/09/2021 09:16

2 x £25 for me! Finally! I’ve not won anything since February. I’m delighted.

ElizabethTudor · 02/09/2021 09:17

£25 x 3 last month
£25 x 2 this month

On £45k. Last month was the first month I’d had that much in. Prior it was about £7k, and I’d won the odd £25. So I’m seeing a definite improvement so far!

Silkiescatz · 02/09/2021 09:35

I put 50k mid Feb and have won 175 so far so quite low returns but bank accounts with instant access I have are slightly worse. Though I may well shift mine as I dont think will need short term access now and can invest for 5 years or so.

DollyPartBaked · 02/09/2021 09:49

£25 on £40k - I've won the last few months so was expecting zero so pleased with that.

LindaEllen · 02/09/2021 09:55

Nothing this month on £5800. BUT I did win my first ever £25 last month! I've only recently started this & put bits of money in as and when, so statistically I know my chances aren't great right now - but it was still nice to win last month & I look forward to winning more often, with a bit of luck! Congrats to everyone who's won this month :).

Katieweasel · 02/09/2021 09:58

2 x £25 on a £20k pot. Happy with that Smile

Lilly11a · 02/09/2021 10:09

£25 for me on £7500 first win since Jan

101namesforme · 02/09/2021 10:11

Nothing again on £30k, three months it has been eligible and nothing so far Sad

FiveShelties · 02/09/2021 10:21

Nothing for me or my husband on 6,000 and 6250. Oh well, there is always October.Smile

Congratulations to everyone who won.
