Nothing this month on about £43k. TBF I was due a lean month or two as I'd been running at a return of over 6% for quite a while.

Nothing again, three months in a row. TBF I'd cashed in most of them as I was moving house . Just put the renovation funds in there this week though, will draw it out in dribs and drabs when I need it

£50 on 11k. I was going to take the lot out if nothing again this month. Could be cause for a temporary stay of execution

£3.10 euro win for me! Spent £10 over the last few draws tho so I'm not in profit. I need to revise my conditions for entry and only enter once the prize is above £175 million. 🤔. 

Quoting myself above by mistake if there is any confusion?! 😔

Zero this time, I did have to reduce from max pot to about 15k to cover some stuff temporarily, was planning to max it back out end of July, but seriously considering putting it into my ISA instead..

Nothing again, but to be expected after I had to take almost all of it out to cover a massive vet bill for my daughter's horse (way more than our claim limit). Still, after two emergency operations, at least he's still with us. I was kinda hoping the 'When Bad Shit Happens, Sometimes Some Good Shit Happens Gods' might have looked kindly at us.

I just looked at my winnings for the year.  3% exactly which is pretty much what you expect and I still have the vague chance of winning big.  I'm happy enough with that

£75 between the two of us this month. We've had better. Clearly the return rate has been dropping over the last couple of years, and it's showing.

Zero. Which means 0.75% (ish). Dismal.

My godfather left me £100 in premium bonds when he passed in the eighties, won me a couple of £25s back in the day. Haven't seen the certificates since moving out of the family home 22 years ago - got in touch with the premium bond folks a few weeks ago and they've sent me another couple of £25 cheques. Result! 🙂

Just 1 x £50 for me, but Mrs Lawman has picked up £275 made up of 6 different prizes. We'll settle for that after a lean one last month.

Nothing again, 3rd month in a row on a pot that was 50k, though down at 20k for this draw.

Forgot I still had some in there . Thought I cleared it out to buy the house windows about 18 months ago Apparently not. 

Still don't know what's left but can't be much as last known amount was around 8k. Windows were 7.5k. so assume somewhere between 500-1000 quid. 

100 quid last month and 25 quid this month.

I've not had the email so presumably nothing. Started to withdraw some too as the house renovation is getting started so getting less likely as time goes on
