[Brok]

£50.
Not a lot, but it's a weeks rent, plus 4 bottles of beer

 

[Smirko]

£200 this month

 

[Si Gull]

£25 each for me and Mrs Gull. A 2%pa return in the past 6 months, can get 4.5% in a current account. Running out of patience for a decent win!

 

[Mileoakman]

I've just checked and I've won the last 26 months out of 27. Most only about £25 or £50 and the best £375. Only £50 this month though.

The interest is potentially taxable though..........

Hang on a couple of days...last month I thought I had won nothing until suddenly on 4th Jan It suddenly sent me an email to say I'd won.

The App checker definitely said no luck this time…….again.

It doesn’t sit well with me that so many NSC’rs seem so eager to crow publicly about their investments and apparent winnings, whilst so many of their fellow posters are struggling to make ends meet. Let’s wind it in a bit eh?

It's called capitalism. Get over it

If you paupers don't like people getting a return on their hard earned money, you have two options
1/ don't open the thread
2/ put the thread on ignore

 

[Biscuit Barrel]

[Shropshire Seagull]

Absolutely feck all again this month, 3 Consecutive draws with a 26k holding and with the prize pot being reduced again from March, looks like I will be locking in 20k into a fixed ISA as interest rates predicted to fall later in the year.

Had my annual review with my IFA [pensions / tax / investments - no mortgage] last week.
Mentioned Mrs SS had £10k of PBs and not won anything for 3 months in a row now.
He suggested selling them all and then buying them back again a month later, maybe even in my name.
He caveated, don't know why, but this seems to help start winning again ....

Not the first time that’s been mentioned to me. My dad said it worked for him too.

I’d get a new IFA if he genuinely thinks that this is anything other than a a coincidence.
