PREMIUM BOND THREAD

[Blondeshavemorefun]

Thought better start new one as last one almost full

Let’s hope we win big November for Christmas

Gutted, £25 on full holdings. Ludicrous how hyped up I get each month, will never learn!

Here’s to next year ! Good luck all.

£25 for me for the third month running on just over 20K. £125 for the year. DS got £50, making £225 for the year.

Nothing for DH or me on 23K each -- very sad.

Nothing on about 7.5k between me and the DC. Topped up a few hundred to increase the odds for next month

£25 twice for me on £8k holding, I'm so pleased as I've never won over £25 before. Mine get reinvested in more premium bonds so more chance next month

I've just worked out our prize rate for the year - 0.87%, which is very close to the 0.9% BarbaraofSeville mentioned earlier in the thread, and slightly less than the 1% interest rate given on the NS&I website.

Total winnings for 2020: £1,850 (me: £575, DD: £325, DS: £475, all on full holdings). Our biggest prize was 2 x £100 (DS in July, me in August), otherwise we've only ever won £25 (multiples if we're lucky). Almost all of DD's winnings were before May; she's won a grand total of £25 in the seven draws since then.

After saying I’d won nothing since august I’ve woken to what must be a late email from NS&I alerting me to £25 win ! Do you think they read MN and took note ?!

I only got my email today, it seems to take a while.

Those who are still waiting, I've only just had my email - £50 win 🙂. Do they usually email over a few days?

We won £50!

I haven't had an email yet but always use the prize checker app. 6 prizes of £25 on a £50k holding - the most I've even won in 20 years. Averages me out at £50 a month this year. In my head I've spent it 4 times!

Good return for me and DH £125 -we haven't won much recently so was very pleased with that

When my lovely old Ma died a few years ago I discovered she had had remarkable runs of luck with her smallish holding. She squirrelled it all away. I bought mine kind of in memory of her. She’d be upset at my relative poor fortune ! When I win I think of her - kind of ‘win win’.

Same here.

My dad used to win every month.

I seem to have inherited his luck.

£25 X 2 on £38k.

I got a suspicious-looking email telling me I've won something, but not how much. Is that usual? Nothing credited to my bank account so far. The email arrived a couple of hours ago.

That's normal. You need to log in to find out how much, or use the app.

£25 for me and £25 for DH my first win in months!

I find it takes about 3/4 days for the email to come through and payment of winnings hits our account on day 8 after the draw.

Happy to have got £25 this month - first time since June, before which I was getting at least one £25 each month since January. I'm adding to my holdings so hopefully one of the bigger prizes in 2022. Fingers crossed! 🌹

correction Actually I got a late email with a£25 win ! Woo

£50 win for me first month on 16.5k.....lovely jubbly!

Have had a really shitty stressful month at work and was pleasantly surprised by an email telling me I’d won! Amazing how much £25 can really cheer you up

£50 for me on full holdings
