PREMIUM BOND THREAD

[Blondeshavemorefun]

tried to link this on old thread , but was 1000 :( so couldn’t

I didn’t win this month but did last month of £25 - let’s hope will next month :)

£75 for me. Max pbs.

Nothing in Feb (boo!) but did get £50 in Jan and £50 in Nov!

Oh and holding is around £20k (it fluctuates)

£25 for me this month 🙂.

£25 for me on a £5k holding.

Being nosey. Those on full holding so £50k. How did you get to that amount

House sale - inheritance - pb win - I can’t imagine ever having that amount 🙀😢

I try to add £100 here and there if feeling rich but I will never have max holdings unless I win £50k

@Blondeshavemorefun inheritance
Sat there until it's used to by our next house

I have almost full holding and won £25.
It's a house deposit as soon as we find something it'll be gone.
Was it just me or did anyone else have issues trying to find out if they won.
I'm pretty sure they've changed my nsi number and holding number. They got rid of the last digit?

Nothing here again :-(

I had to have my nsi number emailed through and then change password and then log in.
But noticed they changed both my nsi and holding number. They got rid of the last digit from both. That's why it wasnt working before.

@Souther can I pls ask how quickly can you take the money out?

@Blondeshavemorefun mine was mostly inheritance but have been saving and just hit the maximum yesterday so next month will be my first draw with full holding

First win for me - a huge £25!

Money is in designated account usually 3 days or so once cash in

I sold shares and bought premium bonds in an attempt to diversify my investments (I get given shares in the company I work for as a bonus each year and I was worried about how exposed I was to fluctuations in the share price). I’m not quite at full holding yet - might get there this year.

@Blondeshavemorefun thank you

Nothing again 😔

I haven't tried yet but assume its 3 days if you go online to do it

Nothing for me or DH but DF won £50. He's quite lucky, wins something nearly every time with a holding of £20k, increased last month to £25k.

Nothing for me this month but our son won £25 on £100 holding...not a bad return considering!

Out of curiosity I’ve just checked my winning bonds from 2020 and noted 7 prizes come from one block and one from a £100 bond (bought in 1999)

The block is £10k and I have just below another £10k in amounts in bits and bobs and no prizes from them.

I know every £1 bond has an equal chance of a prize, so this is just my experience, I’ll see how 2021 does, my first £25 of 2021 is from the £10k block.

Thanks Souther

£50 on my investment of £25k but my DS won nothing on his investment of £20k.

This is our first win since Oct so hopefully this will end our dry run! X

It’s so annoying when you win sweet FA. I knows wins tend to happen when you’re busy doing something else but it’s just another think to feel shit about in a shitty old time when nothing much else is happening.

£25 here.

I’m not sure how much I’ve got. It’s about £36k I think.

Lump sum from redundancy package then a few thousand here and there. I have an investment in stocks and shares and I sometimes take gains from there and buy bonds.
