Normally get £25 to £50 but not this month.

without giving away any personal information - what sort of money does one need invested to consistently get £25 a month?

By my back of fag packet calculations 25*12 = £300 p.a. The headline rates are 1% returns so £30k to get a fairly consistent £25 per month.

I've never won a penny, but don't have 10's of thousands.

I’ve built mine up over a number of years but it was only when I got to a substantial holding that I started getting regular returns. Until the last few months I was doing really well, circa 2% but as it’s tax free it’s nearer to a 3% effective rate. I think you would really struggle to get much back with a few hundred pounds worth, but you never know and of course you could win big!

Isn't the effective return with the new rates almost nothing until you get to around £10K deposited?

Nothing this month but then my pot isn't as big as it was a few months ago so not unsurprising.

Big John no it was the website. It’s updated now and won nothing. Not sure why I’m surprised I never win anything but thought as the money was earning nothing anyway I might as well try this.

We had nearly £100k in PB when we remortgaged to do our loft conversion and extension & garage.

It was in there for about 3 months and we won about £600 I think. Was a while ago now.

Am getting roughly 1% - two £25 prizes in the last year...

Nowt for me, £50 for Mrs L this month. Which is nice for her as it was her birthday last week.
We are in the lucky position of having the full £50k each (a fair bit of that from an inheritance 2 yrs ago) and generally win £50-£75 a month. Never had anything bigger than £400, which was about 12 years back.

Nothing again this month.
I was up at 1.8% return for first 4 months so no surprise the last 2 have been 0.

Nothing for us, although I've been slowly draining it for house renovations and to extend the Mrs' maternity leave so she doesn't have to go back to work.

Cant access the kids accounts from the app for some reason, been broken all year with no fix in place at all.

I invested at the beginning of last month but not in time for today's draw - very frustrating to have to wait another month.

£75 here this month, split as £25 for me and 2x£25 for Mrs L'man. No complaints at the moment, it's definitely a step up from the building society/bank savings account rates.

£25 each for me and Mrs Lawman this month. Very much a case of 'Slow and steady (not) wins the race' - I can't see me retiring on the proceeds just yet.

I got very excited when I had an email from NS&I this morning telling me to log onto my account and read a message.
I'd heard that they get in touch with the £million winners a few days before the results are published.
No, it wasn't that :o(

Nothing again this month. Not surprising though as I don't have much left in there.

Did win £8 on the lottery last night though, that's been reinvested in more tickets.
