My brother got £75 on maximum holdings. Lucky man! 🤢

Juliecloud · 06/06/2021 16:20

Nothing again for me! I’ve not had anything since feb. I’ve made £100 since august on £16000. I am now wondering if I should move it to a cash ISA.

Dyrne · 07/06/2021 12:09

@Juliecloud you’re looking at a return so far of 0.6% in the rolling year. That’s pretty good when comparing to easy access ISAs/Savings accounts. If you’re happy locking it away and not touching it you could possibly get 0.7%-1%; depends on what you do with the money I guess.

JayAlfredPrufrock · 08/06/2021 07:04

£25 for me.

Getting my dads money from NS&I was actually the easiest of everything so sorry to hear you are having trouble @stillcrazyafterall

Hi, is it worth getting premium bond if you're only buying one a month, so as a monthly savings or is it best to save a whole lot to then sink in? Thank you

Blondeshavemorefun · 08/06/2021 17:03

Buy as you go as obv if not in the draw you won’t win

Not long now - next draw this week.

QueenMabby · 28/06/2021 10:03

🤞🏻 everybody!

Dyrne · 28/06/2021 10:19

The last couple of “first days of month” have been on a weekend so it’s completely messed up my expectations of when we have results! Grin Will it be the 1st or the 2nd we get them?

finallymightbehappening · 28/06/2021 10:40

It says you have to hold for a month before you go in the draw. Does that mean bonds I bought in mid June won't go in the draw until august?

finallymightbehappening · 28/06/2021 10:45

Someone won
£100,000 on a bond they bought this February!

finallymightbehappening · 28/06/2021 10:58

It says on website next results 2 July.

Newestname001 · 28/06/2021 11:42

If I've understood correctly:

  • Purchase on e.g 6 June - you're in the August draw as they need to be in for a full calendar month but
  • If your winnings are automatically reinvested, they go into the immediate next month draw so, June win automatically reinvested on 1July... 🌹
Blondeshavemorefun · 29/06/2021 08:59

Think that’s right as well

New have to be cleared for a month but winnings go into next draw

@FAQs are you are guru. Can uou confirm 😂😢

You'll be able to see the big prizes (£5000+) on the website on Thursday and then see the results in the app on Friday.
TVHubbyClaire · 29/06/2021 14:31

zero in June on a £23k holding, fingers crossed for a more lucky July Hmm

Newestname001 · 29/06/2021 15:18

I keep hoping for a substantial win - it would bring some future plans forward by quite a bit! 🍀🤞🏽

101namesforme · 29/06/2021 16:11

Newbie here with a question about the prize listing. When it says a £50,000 winner has holdings of say £40,000 it also states a bond value of say £10,000. Does that mean that they have £40,000 overall but on the bond that won they invested £10,000 at that time.

So for example I have £30k invested, I invested £20k then the next week another £10k. If I were to be lucky enough to win, it would say holdings £30k with the bond value of £20k or £10k depending on which lot won??

Not that it really matters, just wondering. (Trying not to get too hopeful about my first draw this week, honest!)

Blondeshavemorefun · 29/06/2021 16:46

Yes @101namesforme

I think this is my month 😄. I've got a good feeling about it.

BarbaraofSeville · 30/06/2021 05:49

Look out for a knock on the door today @UnfinishedBunting, I think they try and contact the two millionaires on the last day of the month, as the details will be published on the website tomorrow.

Late one month I noticed a smartly dressed young woman walking down my driveway and for a moment I thought 'OMG it's Agent Million' but then I recognised her as the lady who delivers my work hire cars Grin.

UnfinishedBunting · 30/06/2021 08:56

😄

Got excited this morning by a confidential email from NS&I. Then I remembered I bought some more last night!
