Nothing again. For DH and me. Getting frustrated with it and tempted to transfer to savings. But I don't really want to. Leaving a smaller amount to keep the dream alive maybe.

They need to increase to keep up otherwise lots will leave

KohlaParasaurus · 02/09/2022 09:10

£25 on a little over £30,000. It's getting harder to avoid spending it all at once.

WobblyLondoner · 02/09/2022 09:26

£50 on full holdings. DP and DS both won £25 on smaller amounts.

FedUpWithBriiiiick · 02/09/2022 09:48

Nothing here. Well done all winners!

SunflowerDuck · 02/09/2022 09:54

Nothing 7 months in ....

fromdownwest · 02/09/2022 09:55

£75 on Full Holdings.

Eaumyword · 02/09/2022 10:05

£225 across 2.5 holdings. Pleased with that.
Still waiting to be able to retire early though!😂

InTheCludgie · 02/09/2022 10:15

2 x £25 here on full holdings, very welcome on a five week month which is also DS's birthday and tax due on car

2 x £25 on £36k holdings.

I've averaged £25 per month for the past year which doesn't feel like a good return. But I like the excitement every month.

Hollyhead · 02/09/2022 10:51

£125 on a full holding, I was due a good win as I have had not the best luck this year overall.

Chewbecca · 02/09/2022 10:56

2 x 25 over 2 accounts with roughly full holding between them. Not bad.

LuckyHedgehog · 02/09/2022 12:26

Not a great month for us this month - just £25 for DS, and nothing for DD or me (on 3x full holdings).

Carpediem15 · 02/09/2022 12:27

OH nothing on full holding
£75 for me on full holding

You are not lucky @LuckyHedgehog £25 on £150k is very bad odds

I think I need a namechange, Blondes! This is the fifth month since last September that we've only won £25 between the three of us; I'm not impressed.

2020 (the first year we had full holdings) was a much better year; we regularly used to win a few hundred pounds and there was only one month when we won less than £100.

Have you checked you haven't missed some prizes? That sounds so unlikely I'd think there was a mistake, especially since the payout rate pre 2007 crash was a lot higher than it is now.

On £15k statistically, you're almost certain of winning one prize a year and should win a handful of prizes over 5 years.

What you're describing is similar odds as tossing a coin about 200 times and only getting heads once.

Show quote history

Yes I have checked the unclaimed prizes and not a sniff of another prize! So just very unlucky I guess 😭

JubileeTrifle · 02/09/2022 14:02

@JasmineIndigo regardless you should get in and set up an online account so you can direct where you want the winnings to go to, if you ever get any. You can also get the app to auto check your numbers each month.

JesusMaryAndJosephAndTheWeeDon · 02/09/2022 14:37

Nothing for me on £23k but I have had £150 over the last six draws so can't complain

RainingYetAgain · 02/09/2022 15:00

I'm having trouble logging on- it tells me it is checking my computer and then I get a message to say nothing detected. Every other proframme is fine.
However, using Prize checker, I got £50 on 28K, so thats £300 since March, when I took some out.
This year's pattern of 2 out of 3 of myself and the DSs winning continues. One got £25 and the other got nothing. Not sure how much the boys have now.

Ah thanks. - I’ve already got an online account and the app :)

PupInAPram · 02/09/2022 15:43

I won £100! But for the first time in my life, in my 60s, got a ticket for speeding by very small amount over the limit 😔 Swings and roundabouts.....

EmmaC78 · 02/09/2022 15:52

£25 for me this month. First win in a while.

starbaby858 · 02/09/2022 17:21

Has anyone on here ever won anything with less than £500 saved??😬

I wouldn’t even be able to put 1K away so just wondering really
