[Finance] Premium Bonds - prize pool increased again - you ever have any luck?

[JJ McClure]

Nothing, but then again I've only got a bag of sand in there so don't expect anything just more to at least give a little hope of a win.

 

[dstanman]

Nothing here unfortunately.

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

Nothing for my colossal £25 holding. Doesn't make sense

 

[chip]

Nothing for six months or more now

 

[dazzer6666]

About par this month

 

[Wes Tupper]

2024. 4.05% for her. 5.75% for him.

Your true rate of return is actually higher than this, unless all of your winnings were in the last month.

 

[juliant]

6k holding won £50
50K holding won £25

The luck of the draw !

 

[WASH]

Wifey picked up £525 from a £30K holding! I got £150 from my max holding value

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

I’m eligible for the draw from next month with a £50k holding, looking forward to winning absolutely dick all.

 

[portslade seagull]

£275 for me this month

 

[Elbow750]

£200 to start the year. (38k)...
Mrs Elbow only picked up £50 on her £20k.

 

[Mustafa II]

Bugger all for me this month.

Looks like a collective relatively dry spell for NSC this month.

 

[HalfaSeatOn]

£50 for January

May - £50
June - £100
July - £125
August - £50
September - £50
October - £125
November - £0
December - £0
January - £50

On course for an annual return of 4.89% based on £15k if current trend continues

 

[Binney on acid]

£150 on max holding. No cartwheels being turned, but it's better than a mallet in the vitals, so I've been told.

 

[jcdenton08]

I’ve only got £500 in, but I’ve not won anything in three years. I’m taking it out and putting it in a ISA.

 

[Doonhamer7]

Nowt for me this month

 

[Mustafa II]

I’ve only got £500 in, but I’ve not won anything in three years. I’m taking it out and putting it in a ISA.

Your odds of winning in a month have been around 44/1... So one prize every 4 years or so.

Probabilistically, you should have won buy now, or you are about to...

If you find a decent interest rate savings account of say 7%, £500 will bag you a guaranteed £35 per year.

 

[Boroseagull]

£350 on max holding to start the New Year. 2x100 rest in 50s.

 

[dstanman]

Thought i had nothing this month but just seen email to say got £75 win for Jan
