New thread for when old one is full and for October - exciting time as lots more prizes for October - less £25 ones but many more £50

Friday 30th is last working day of the month so maybe one of us will get THAT VISIT - saying won a million - blondes faints

wouldn’t it be lovely if we all won something even £50 in October

1 x £25 here

JubileeTrifle · 02/12/2022 07:17

Full holdings for us both.
I got £350 across 10 prizes!
DH got £25

Justjoinedforthis · 02/12/2022 07:21

I 225 on 35k, my best ever win!

My partner says we should put then in a 5% savings account, my heart is ruling over my head…I love the preemie b’s!!

SavingsThreads · 02/12/2022 07:35

Big fat ZILCH on £40k. Again. Really thought my luck had turned last month!

Benjispruce4 · 02/12/2022 07:35

£25 on £20k

Adifferentcorner · 02/12/2022 07:36

£100 on £11,00 holding, pleased with that. My DS won £50 on £1500 holding and DH won £150 on £30,000 holding. Pretty good month for us

froggybiby · 02/12/2022 07:40

Nothing for either myself or hubby (around 15k each which will mostly go into house improvements next year.
DD has won £25 x 2 ...I am pleased as she had not won for a few months.
I like seeing people with not much holding winning some of the top prizes as I like to think it

Pressed send by error...I like to think it changed the life of someone needing it.

zighead · 02/12/2022 07:43

Absolutely bugger all here again this month. Not impressed. I have 23K and DS has 8K.

PanicAtTheBigTesco · 02/12/2022 07:46

Nothing on earth £15k

PanicAtTheBigTesco · 02/12/2022 07:46

No idea where the rogue 'earth' came from there!

Cactusali · 02/12/2022 07:53

We are 2 x full holdings. A paltry £25 each this month,

LuckyHedgehog · 02/12/2022 07:57

2 x £25 for me, 1 x £50 for DD, and 1 x £100, 1 x £50 and 3 x £25 for DS (all on max. holdings).

Jaffacakeinmypocket · 02/12/2022 07:58

Nothing for me on full holdings. Not impressed 🙁

Usernamenotallowed · 02/12/2022 08:04

Nothing for me on full holdings, £50 fox DH

RachelSq · 02/12/2022 08:14

£150 on max holding, not terrible by any means but I’m still seriously considering needing to move it to somewhere with a higher return. I’m a bit surprised the rate hasn’t been increased again and I can’t wait much longer.

Abouttimemum · 02/12/2022 08:23

£25 each on full holdings and £6.8k - not amazing but honestly we’ve done well generally this year. It all goes towards our Florida shortfall ha.

Keep thinking we should move the 50k but my heart rules my head. Plus we have a ‘sensible’ lifetime ISA so I think that will suffice!

Parky04 · 02/12/2022 08:33

£200 for OH and £125 for me. Both have full holdings. It will pay for the car service - how exciting!!

Nadal · 02/12/2022 08:34

Nothing for us this month.

Disheartening for sure as rates increase.
I am starting to see nil months as a loss of interest we would have had rather than nothing now. So will look at moving I think. Which I don't really want to do but it makes more sense.

And maybe keep a small amount to keep dreaming.

Alexandra2001 · 02/12/2022 08:36

£50 on 40k.

So far the return is 3% but is falling.

Agree, NS&I need to up the prizes as fixed rate savings are quite good and will probably improve.

Will move in January.

walkinginsunshinekat · 02/12/2022 08:38

oh nothing at all in last 6 months on 11k.

Saisong · 02/12/2022 08:48

£75 for me on £27k
But DP is crowing because he got £300 on full holding
Best month between us yet.

Caterina99 · 02/12/2022 08:50

£25 between me and DH on 25k each. Not great, but DHs have done well generally so it’s still worked out for us (mine haven’t done well, even that £25 was DH account!)

Kids both won £50 though on 5k holding each.

Clickncollect · 02/12/2022 08:53

£50 on £25k holdings which I’m happy with. Interestingly, I haven’t had full holdings for about 6 months now and am still getting pretty much the same cash amount of prizes each month.
