Where's the premium bonds thread?

[SouthWestmom]

Checked TIO to see if anyone had won and it's vanished!! Surely it isn't contentious 😂

Whoop. Finally won 2 x £25

Haven’t won anything for maybe 5/6mths

This thread keeps vanishing off Threads I'm On - have £3k and no wins for months and months

Fingers crossed for tomorrow....

Oh, same. I'm down to 3k though so am not holding out any hope!

I've decided that anything I win for the next 3 months is going towards a voluntary overpayment of my student loan, so fingers crossed for £100. (My average is c. £80 per month, but last month I got £125!)

I've only got about £5k in there, so usually win....nothing. I £175 last year though.

I'm going to buy an extra £3k this month, rather than leaving it sitting in my bank earning very little interest. It's more fun wondering if it's going to win.

I do wonder why there's such a lag between the draw and the app results. Winners are the subject of some newspaper articles, but no news on the app til tomorrow.

Nothing this month on £10k.

£25 this month.

Have invested 20k so hoping I get something back

£75 this month on maximum holdings. I'm quite happy with that!

£25 on £16k, a good start to the year.

I've got a £10,000 investment since August and hadn't won a diddly squat .....until today when I won £25!!

I'm delighted with that - and will look forward to next month ..

[must change my username before too long]

Nothing (again) on £3k

Nothing for anyone here. Oh well.

£100 on £9k which was a nice surprise this morning.

Its only my second month so happy with that!

That’s very good on 9k sally!

£50 for me.

Well done @Sallycinnamum - you seem to have fared the best today!

I'm sure it's a one off. I probably won't get another penny now!

Nothing for me! I’ve only got £160 in total in bonds had them for just over a year and got one £25 win last year. I’m not expecting anything for the next 5-10 years ha!

We emptied ours to pay for work on our house so we're down to just £100. Unsurprisingly, no wins....

Nothing for me (wasn't expecting anything, I only have £50).

Is it better to save up and buy say, £1000 outright or buy £50 or £100 per month?

£25 here. Whoop

Is it better to save up and buy say, £1000 outright or buy £50 or £100 per month?

Each individual £1 bond has the same chance of winning, so it makes no difference whether you buy them in small or big blocks. Best to buy them monthly, because the more draws they’re eligible for, the more chance there is of winning.

£25 here. Pretty pleased.

@grumpypug I agree with @TooMuch87 - basically the sooner you buy them, the better.
