Well that is five £25 wins in five months since I started...is this

Depends how big your holding is, I'd say,


agreed

and how recently it was
purchased.


Nope


Recent purchases win more often than older ones because
there are more of them, so a large holding purchased in the last 12
months will produce more winners than a similarly large holding
purchased, say, five or ten years ago.


Complete garbage. Each bond has exactly the same probability of winning
regardless of when it was purchased.


I've invested £3,000 over the last 18 months and haven't won anything.
