Sit down folks.

Changed name for this.

Took a look at 12.30. 2 prizes...

1 x £50, then swiped...... 1 x £25,000

Woke my husband who thought I was ill!!!

Oh wow! Congratulations! That’s amazing news :)

See now I’m looking back on my last post and thinking ah bollocks just keep them in the bonds 🤣

whenindoubtgotothelibrary · 02/06/2023 09:28

£200 on £88k across our accounts. Not terrible, but obvs not what I was hoping for!

Tidsleytiddy · 02/06/2023 09:33

£75 for me!

Ohmylovejune · 02/06/2023 09:39

It's on a full holding.

Bittercup · 02/06/2023 09:39

Nothing for me but £100 for DH. We seem to be in a pattern of winning alternate months. At least that means it's my turn next time!

Although we might withdraw most of it soon as we have achieved a savings goal.

Well done to the £25k winner, you must be thrilled Flowers

Saisong · 02/06/2023 09:44

I got £150 on 29k, and DH is miffed he 'only' got £100 on full holdings - now muttering about savings accounts. Lovejune's story gives us hope!

GasPanic · 02/06/2023 09:45

£200 on FH.

That is the most I have won since Jan 2018 and I am now only £75 below my highest ever yearly total (£550 vs £625) so the increased prize fund is definitely showing up for me. May and June were the 1st and 2nd highest amounts (£150 and £200) that I have ever had since Jan 18.

A rough guess makes the £25K winner a 1 in 10000 probability on FH. So once every 800 years.

The £500 win is a one in 60, so once every 5 years for someone on FH.

I would say we have enough people reporting on here to get roughly 1x £500 per month. The £25K is a real outlier that will buy one hell of a takeaway.

BumFluffBumFluff · 02/06/2023 09:57

Ohmylovejune that’s fantastic!
gives us all hope
did you manage to get back to sleep?

elevenplusdilemma · 02/06/2023 09:57

£25 for me on full holdings and £50 (2 x £25) for DH on £48K. Bit disappointed TBH.

Haleso · 02/06/2023 10:01

£25 on virtually full holdings and have had nothing since February either.

Disappointed but remain optimistic

WimbyAce · 02/06/2023 10:06

Nothing for me this month 👎🏻

Gemini202 · 02/06/2023 10:09

£100 for me on fh
£175 for Dh on fh
£0 for dc on £4k

Blondeshavemorefun · 02/06/2023 10:12

It's why I do the pb

The what if

And yes May get more in interest

But the thrill of the singing lady every month or not lol is the fun of it

The what if ....

We know every month someone will win

Wow well done @Ohmylovejune that's amazing

A £50 and £25 here on £42k holdings so pretty happy with that

OublietteBravo · 02/06/2023 10:15

I’ve had a reasonable return in the past 12 months (I had FH until the Sept 2022 draw, at which point I withdrew half to pay the deposit for building work. I’m back up to around £35k at the moment. Until the next invoice from the builders arrives). The last month I won nothing was Mar-22, and the one before that was Aug-21.

Jul-22: £25
Aug-22: £125
Sep-22: £25
Oct-22: £50
Nov-22: £25
Dec-22: £125
Jan-23: £125
Feb-23: £175

That's horrendous luck! I went through a weird dryspell last year so hope the winds change for you

RedHelenB · 02/06/2023 10:23

£50 again

Mattieispregnant · 02/06/2023 10:28

£25 for me on FH and £50 for husband on FH. Last month neither of us got anything. I’ve had FH for 5 years and most over ever got was £125.

Starseeking · 02/06/2023 10:31

Ohmylovejune · 02/06/2023 08:32

Sit down folks.

Changed name for this.

Took a look at 12.30. 2 prizes...

1 x £50, then swiped...... 1 x £25,000

Woke my husband who thought I was ill!!!

Congratulations! I would be over the moon with that given it's roughly the same size as my holdings (£25,500). Looking forward to seeing what happens next draw!

bluevelvetbox · 02/06/2023 10:32

£75 on Full Holdings here.

skyeisthelimit · 02/06/2023 10:48

£100 on £18K

£350 in total won since January.

DD has £4K in and has won £25 this year so far. I am thinking of moving most of hers into savings now as she's losing out now that the interest rates have risen.

RudsyFarmer · 02/06/2023 10:53

Deeply jealous of those getting over £100 each month. We have 1x FH and 1x £30k and we are averaging probably £50 a month if we looked at winnings. This month I got £25 and DP got nothing. He is pissed 😬

BillyNoM8s · 02/06/2023 11:11

£1200 for me £100 for DH, both on full holdings. They always show you your lowest prize first, so I knew I had at least £300.

We've had them for years and this is only the second higher value single prize we've had - both times £1000.

It's definitely not the smartest place to keep your money, but it's convenient and tax free. The kids also have a a nominal £25 quid in theirs. One of them has only once won £25.
