What is your largest ever premium bond win?

Just that. I hold the full whack plus extra for my kids and never win more than a few 100 pounds.

Interested to hear from others and whether I should shift my cash!

£100 and a few £50’s
i don’t have loads (less than £5k) and last time I checked the wins were just about equivalent to what I’d get in interest in a decent savings account or isa. I might move them and stick them in my isa though.

CalzoneOnLegs · 29/09/2025 20:20

£625

i won’t move mine as I win every month (hope I have not jinxed it) and I like the fun aspect of checking on the prize app.

AntiBullshit · 29/09/2025 20:21

Not a thing, same as lotto
im not a lucky person

NoArmaniNoPunani · 29/09/2025 20:21

I won 1000 once and I used to regularly win 100s. But they've changed the structure of the prize fund and I've won nothing since.

OswaldCobblepot · 29/09/2025 20:21

Me: £25
My sister: £50k

ShanghaiDiva · 29/09/2025 20:22

5k

DemonsandMosquitoes · 29/09/2025 20:22

I’ve won £1000 twice over several years. Plus other bits. Never had more than £30k in there in total.

JunoYouKnow · 29/09/2025 20:22

£550, a couple of years ago. Not more than £225 in any month since then, but this month for the first time ever both DH and I have full holdings so I have my fingers crossed. We will need the money out of one of them soon, so it will be a massive anticlimax if we both win nothing! I get very hopeful every month.

MrsVinceVega · 29/09/2025 20:23

I won £550 last month. I win £100 or so most months.

Just waiting to win enough to stop working!!

Lovelynames123 · 29/09/2025 20:24

£100 was most for me, holding around £10k. My dad won £2k in 1964 which would be like 20k today, but presumably the odd were way better back then!

My dm holds the max and wins a few hundred every month but nothing big

SparklyCardigan · 29/09/2025 20:25

£650

tiredangry · 29/09/2025 20:25

I don't think you should shift it, unless you want to be paying tax on your interest or earnings or whatever from it.

MissPobjoysPonies · 29/09/2025 20:26

£50 twice - I’m in the process of moving them as prizes are getting less and aren’t culminating in the lowest interest rate.

Sorry govt, I might keep £50 in there but the rest has better options.

BrassedOffTiggy · 29/09/2025 20:30

@tiredangryPB winnings are tax free, one of the main reasons I keep mine topped up!

BrassedOffTiggy · 29/09/2025 20:30

@tiredangryapologies, I see that that is what you were saying!

steamingin · 29/09/2025 20:30

500 but won 1000 on the postcode lottery last month

Whenautumnleavesstarttofall · 29/09/2025 20:31

£100

But a close friend with a £1k holding, won £5k last month !!

IDontHateRainbows · 29/09/2025 20:36

£200.

I won £50 last month and have had some £25 wins and 1 x £100 win.

I don't play the lottery so this is the most chance I'll ever have of winning big

DrMadelineMaxwell · 29/09/2025 20:38

DH - £550 in one of his months. He wins most months on full holdings.
Me - £200 on about £32k.
DD2 is the family high winner in one prize. She had £350 in bonds and won £1k.

larkstar · 29/09/2025 20:39

Ditto @MrsVinceVega and that was last month. I hold £25k... but I've reduced my holdings to put more into a Stocks and Shares ISA as I wasn't really winning what was predicted for £35k over the last year - prior to that I had been slightly on the lucky side. I've got a 10.6% return with the S&S ISA over the last 10 months (and that includes March and Feb where Trumps tariffs knocked my investment down by 22%!) and was only getting about 3-4% pa with the PB's.

TheThreeStingrays · 29/09/2025 20:42

I’ve never won anything on them but my friend won £10k recently!

goingtotown · 29/09/2025 20:43

£75

CoastalCalm · 29/09/2025 20:47

£1,000

cantpullthetrigger · 29/09/2025 20:47

£1K twice with the full holding, and £100 most other months.

Had to move some money around last year and now only have £1K invested - haven’t won a penny since on that amount.

DawnAnn · 29/09/2025 20:48

£500 on a single bond.
