My lucky run appears to continue: 5 x £25. ( 4 from my original £30K, 1 from my £20K bought recently). bernythedolt , where does that leave my mean reversion?  Phew, at least the distribution was 4 and 1 rather than 1 and 4 this time, because I've run out of edible hats.

Well, whoopy doo ... this month, as well as a couple of 25s, I am also the lucky winner of a £100 monster! It can happen: now all I need is the one with four extra zeroes...

Just to balance out a bit (so that people reading do not think everyone is winning all the time) I have now won nothing for 2 months in the row with max holding. I was getting at least £25 each month before price reduction, but nothing since...

When I was a kid I used to play with a die.
When I was an adult I taught quality systems for a time, the most fun was letting a random number generator stimulate engineers into developing more a more complex theories about how a secret process worked Now....

5 X £25 for me this month.
Last month I got 3 X £25, the month before only 1 X £25.
This is my usual sort of performance despite the prize fund being reduced a couple of draws ago.

article on the best cash savings rates available from Thisismoney: "Among the best accounts is Principality BS Thank You Saver at 1.65 per cent" and continues " but only NHS workers who live in the society's defined area in Wales can open the account" Not even just Wales, but a "defined area" in Wales.  Even if you do happen to be that very special mix of an NHS worker in the defined part of Wales with time on their hands to piss about opening regular savers, then you're still only able to put in £250 a month. I think at this stage, even I might buy some premium bonds.

"and reside in one of the following postcode areas: LL, SY, LD, SA, CF, NP, HR and CH 1 to 8 to open this account."That looks like the whole of Wales plus a bit of England - HR is Hereford, with only a few bits crossing the border into Wales. SY is Shrewsbury. CH is Chester - the bits of it they've excluded are the Wirral. There is no easy postcode cut-off as to what's which side - there are some full house-level postcodes that span the border.

Must admit I failed to do this level of due diligence having fallen at the first hurdle. From memory aren't you from thereabouts? I'm going to guess that you're probably not an NHS worker though. They should let you have it anyway, for services in promoting this fine account!

They should let you have it anyway, for services in promoting this fine account! You're right - I qualify geographically (even though I am not in Wales!), I fail to qualify professionally. Nor would I bother - especially given it's variable-rate, with no guaranteed minimum time before they drop it back from the headline "mediocre" to the more usual "risible"... Their normal "web saver" scales the heady heights of 0.25%...
