Also I'm in Edinburgh, am I on a list?

GasPanic · 04/07/2023 11:24

Only £25 on fh for this month. Below expectations !

Yearly total is now £575.

ThisWomansWorkNeverEnds · 04/07/2023 11:38

Nothing for me on over £23,000. ☹. I've won £75 in the last 6 months which is well under interest rates. DH, and both DC have all got over £3000 each, only DS won £25. Rubbish!
Well done to all winners!

Yes @Blondeshavemorefun it's similar- we have a G postcode but we're not Glasgow city, I was wondering if we might be just Glasgow, or West bScotland or Central Scotland, all of which are possible options.

Turns out we're West Scotland!

I'm a G postcode as well, it does cover a large area surprisingly! I would be under West Scotland too, if I ever won anything big!

Smileyoriley · 04/07/2023 11:58

£150 this time, that's £650 total this year

FrownedUpon · 04/07/2023 12:06

£500 for me on 46k. My biggest win so far.

Ilovetocrochet · 04/07/2023 12:31

£175 for me (£100, £50 and £25) this month with a full holding. I was quite excited to read the results as it’s the first time I’ve won anything in the two draws since putting in £30,000 to bring my holding up to the maximum amount.

It’s money I inherited from my Mum who died last year, I decided to have a bit of fun with PBs for a year to see if I could equal or even exceed the return I would get from investing the money. I’m waiting for probate so we can sell her house and then I’ll need to look at more appropriate investing although I might still keep the PBs as a source of easily accessible money.

Cactusali · 04/07/2023 12:35

Just worked out we’ve had a 3.7% return over the last 12 months - which seems pretty respectable given how low interest rates were until fairly recently.

wendywoopywoo222 · 04/07/2023 13:05

I won 150 this month bringing this year to £1175. Pleased with that.

Bittercup · 04/07/2023 13:14

Nothing on £13k. Proper mardy.

BillyNoM8s · 04/07/2023 13:45

400 for me and a paltry 50 for Dh, both on full holdings.

LouiseD2018 · 04/07/2023 14:51

25 for me, my first and possibly last for a long time. We all have very low holdings, so it was a lovely surprise!

I'll still allow myself to get excited every month though, I quite like the build up!

Gazelda · 04/07/2023 15:13

I'm losing faith. This is the third month this year with zero win. I've got 35k holding.

I'm going to work out my percentage return over the past 13 months and probably cash my PBs in. I'll miss the anticipation every month, but not the disappointment.

Neddevine · 04/07/2023 15:23

Nothing for me this month, £250 for DH. First time in 6 months that I haven't won something. Ah well, hopefully a decent win next month.

hellswelshy · 04/07/2023 15:48

Nothing here on 14k. Only had one win in April which was £25! I'm very put out! 😌 😄

nettie434 · 04/07/2023 16:04

Nothing for me this month but I got £100 in June so I'm not complaining. Well done to all the winners!

Wrapunzel · 04/07/2023 17:04

£75 for me on £14k, £150 for the year to date. I'm taking mine out after the august draw to lend to someone and I will miss the draw anticipation so much!

wheresmyshoe · 04/07/2023 17:25

Nothing here on £13k. Well done those who got something this month.

TrundleWheel76 · 04/07/2023 17:27

I've just worked out that my prizes this year represent a 3.5% return, so not bad really.

I still want to win a big prize though!

Eaumyword · 04/07/2023 17:54

Ooh £1k - fab @MorrisZapp!
We got £400 on 3 x nearly FH.

Roseyleaf · 04/07/2023 17:57

£150 on a £46k holding here. 2.5% return over the year.

blitzen · 04/07/2023 18:41

£25 for me!

FrenesiGates · 04/07/2023 18:44

Nothing – but only have £1,400 holdings... I haven't won anything since I started in October! I'm not getting interest, but I'm also not buying any lottery tickets as I feel this is a better bet so I guess I'm breaking even 😂

Gazelda · 04/07/2023 18:54

I've just calculated that I've had a 1.75% return on 30,000 investment over the last year. I think it's time to cash in. 🥹

whenindoubtgotothelibrary · 04/07/2023 19:08

Nothing for me on FH and nothing for DH on £45k. Trying not to be too put out but wondering about moving it out to a high interest savings account now that interest rates are going up. Was happy to keep it in PBs when you couldn't really do better elsewhere.
