You've just got to get through the 10 year induction period first, then the 25s will roll. 👍

It's the best odds I've seen for a chance of winning a biggy. 🤞

We use it as the slush fund savings account to park money in, on it's way to paying off big chunks of one of the mortgages. The on-average return is as rubbish as the prevailing interest rate but there's always a chance of decent wonga.

I was looking at the list of bigger prize winners yesterday (NS&I publish a list of prizes down to £5k with a location and a holding amount).

Scanning it for South Yorkshire to see if we were on there. One lucky person in SY won £10k with only a £1k holding!

The wife was telling me last night that they expect 9% by the end of the year and she's very happy she fixed the mortgage back in October!

Joking apart, it was of course nothing

I'll just throw that on the bed and make love on it. To myself.
