The Lemon Fool

£75, £125, £225, £250.

Total £675 on 4 full holdings.

several months ago I withdrew most of our combined PB holdings as interest rates improved.

I left a £1000 in each of my wife's accounts more to just "hold" the account not expecting to win anything on that.

I got an email this morning saying I'd won. So off I trotted to check expecting the usual £25.... to find I've won £500!

Wooty woot woot!

bah! I meant each of mine and my wife's... in case that wasn't clear!

I still won £500 though!

The May draw updated after midnight.

A record month for thebarns flock.

4 max holdings.

£200, £225, £300, £1,400 for a total of £2,125.

Reminds me of a previous bit of luck whilst working in a large office in the mid 90s. One guy was flogging raffle tickets and I managed to scoop the only prize of £1,000. The winner was determined by picking a grid number in which a cow would do its business in a gridded field !

Zero and £50 on two full holdings.

Another bad month: £150 on a full holding.

Best wishes,

Steve

£125 + £200 from 2 full holdings

First zero in a while on full holding.

Not desperately bad really. At 3.6% p.a. it's only slightly below what you'd expect with average luck.

Scott.

I'm not grumbling at £150 (100 and 50)! It continues my unbroken run of at least something every month so far this year.

Tricia

£50 on a £15,000 holding... building up again after holding just £2 for many years.

V8

£200 & £300 on two full holdings. Been a good last 12 months with total winnings of £4,625 over the two accounts.

Where there's muck, there's brass !

£400 on 3 x max holdings

£100 on each of two modest holdings this month.

Double checked, no million for us this month on one full and a £3k holding.
Check back in 31 days.

£75 on full holding and nothing on £40k holding

£175 on full holding. Losing a huge amount (some on paper and some in real terms) on my share p/fs inc. ISAs, I was hoping for a biggie but we mustn't forget that the prizes are tax free and the bonds easily accessible. I haven't got around to totting up what percentage the winnings amounted to in the last tax year.

£0 (third in a row) and £175 on two full holdings.

Cumulative winnings for last 12m on one of the holdings is at least 3x the other holding.
