I can't access my account, neither web nor the app. Perhaps they have taken my account offline whilst they add the £1m to it?

Same. There's two £million winners every month, right?

I've haven't lost access to my account but I can only access it via a rarely used PC. Other windows devices aren't recognised which should be a good thing for security.

I was able to access my account with my phone when I tried for the first time which required a verification text. 

Adding money to the account via the pc wasn't easy when I tried last week but I was able to set up a bank transfer (direct from the bank) which in future should negate the need for adding money via the app.

For those in the luck, it’s good to see the pot size, where folks are happy to divulge

£375 for us on a full pot today.  Brings the return rate up a little after a couple of lean months.

Unbeknownst to me a fortnight ago when the PB news was most current, my mum won £10K this month 😀, the lucky lady.
At the age of 90 she's got no real use for it as such, so she's giving £1K each to me and my 2 brothers (and probably to my middle brother's ex-girlfriend, who she's still on great terms with) for us to each use wisely.... ie "let me know what charitable cause you might like to pass it on to". I'm perfectly at ease with that as a request, so am giving that idea some serious thought.

Nothing for me this month, which is a first in a little while. But MrsL has £1050. She'll either be delighted, or will respond "it's not a million, though, is it?"

(Both on full pots)

4 prizes totalling £200, which is similar to what the money would have earnt in the savings account that it was in for the past few months.

I've a modest 10k pot from a bit of a windfall, last month I won £50 and another £25 today, so I'm doing as well with it as I would if I'd put it in a savings account!

After last month's rather pleasant £1050, MrsL has done just £50 in Nov. Which, slightly irritatingly, is twice as much as me. Heyho.

I have had varying from 20k to a full pot over the past 5 or so years, and while I regularly win £25, even once £175, I do wonder if anyone knows anyone who has actually had a big win, like more than 10k. I do recall a post a while back, with a win of about that amount.

£525, my best month ever.

I'd only got anything in February and August this year but now I'm back ahead of expected returns so I'm happy.

Unfortunately my van is in the garage so that's £400 of it gone🙄
