Nowt for me or DS this month Hmm.
Well done to all the winners!

Just £25 for me this month on full holdings

WeAllHaveWings · 02/03/2021 10:59

First month with £10k holding and a disappointing £0

Next month will be £30k holding so fingers crossed for then 🤞

£25 win this month with a £5k holding
Ridiculously happy over such a small amount haha

Sleepyquest · 02/03/2021 11:55

I had a call yesterday morning that started very official and I thought oh my god I'm a millionaire but no, it was just the bank.

They let the two big winners know in person before the details are made public. If you google 'Agent Million' you can find links to a few stories that give more detail:

Nowt from me again, slim pickings of late

Thecazelets · 02/03/2021 12:17

£25 on £42k for me - the same as for the last 3 months. Better than the 11p interest I got on my savings elsewhere. The most I've ever got in one month is £150 but that hasn't happened for quite a while. Usually nothing or £25.

LarsErickssong · 02/03/2021 12:19

Never seen this thread before but I'll join, £50 this month on £41k

bonfireheart · 02/03/2021 12:43

Hi, are you savings 100% secure in premium bonds? And is it quick and easy to withdraw your money if you need it? Thanks.

Chihuahuacat · 02/03/2021 12:47

Nothing again! 4th draw on £10k and nada

SB1971 · 02/03/2021 13:10

Totally safe and can be in your designated account in think 3 days

bonfire yes 100% safe, guaranteed by the government. Unless the government were to go bust .....

You can't lose the actual amount you put in there, but of course you are not getting interest in return for entering the draw each month. You may not win anything.

I got £50 this month, I have £47,000 in there. Quite pleased with that, though I'd prefer the million of course! Usually I get £25, the first month I got nothing at all.

With current interest rates DH worked out that if you had a million in a typical savings account you'd get interest of £100 a year! A few years ago people could live on the interest from a million.

PrivateParty · 02/03/2021 13:58

Looks like I didn't win anything. This is my first draw with just over £23k in there..

Comeonmommy · 02/03/2021 14:08

Haven't seen this thread before but I've just bought £45k worth and didn't win anything this month 🙄

Comeonmommy · 02/03/2021 14:10

@Sunnyday321

£75 for this month. So Jan £25 , Feb £ 75 = £175 so far for 2021 .
You're doing well!!
Sleepyquest · 02/03/2021 14:13

To the people who have just bought theirs, depending on when you bought, you might not be eligible yet. They have to be in a full month first!

bonfireheart · 02/03/2021 14:29

Thank you @Pemba, I've managed to save a good amount but it's all sat in a normal current account that I don't touch, the low interest rates on savings accounts doesn't make it worth the hassle of moving it!

Oh I didn't realise that - mine haven't quite been in a month yet so next draw will be my first. Thank you x
