PREMIUM BONDS

[Blondeshavemorefun]

new thread for when other is fill

this will be for next draw for June 2022 - ans any winners from the the May draw (today)

Yes! And maybe I'll mansplain about apostrophes too!

@swifty1974 You have a few issues with how someone has planned to use their own money?

Really? You seem to be under the misconception that we are using PBS because we don’t know any better.

Which is entirely wrong. There’s many reasons I have, for the short term, a big holding of PBs. The least important reason being that it’s actually quite fun.

You aren’t being helpful. You are being patronising. Because you have decided that people are less knowledgable about you and simply don’t know better until you show them the light.

Maybe the thread should be re-named 'PBs results-watch; not whether they're a good idea or not' 🥱.

Just to push the re-set button, I'm excited for my big win next week 😁

I really really really could do with a win. I want to have my hair coloured.

It’s funny how it’s only ever woman who are talked about as being ‘uppity’ isn’t it. Like bossy.

Won 25 in June.

I'm very sensible about it - for the amount of time that I have had my bonds 25 is more than the interest I would have earned in a standard savings account.

Looking forward to next week 😁🤞

Me too! I'm laid up with Covid atm so am dreaming of how we'd spend the big one! It would be just amazing.
On a practical note, we're 11mo in and ROI is 1.9% so far and I'm delighted with that 🥰

Uppity my arse 👍

There’s always a chance the big one may be me 😂

I thought it was my turn for the big prize? Maybe there's two and we can have one each?

I'm saving my prolific survey money to fund my hair, for May and June I've made just over £100 and my hairdresser charges me £90 for colour, highlights, cut and blow dry so I'm OK for this month.

It has to be my turn. My oldest bonds are from 1957 and I’ve never won a single penny.

You have never won

Think I've heard you can exchange your old bonds for newer numbers! May bring you luck 🤷‍♀️

How many bonds have you got ? @PriamFarrl

if it’s like £50 I guess it isn’t too surprising you haven’t won

The bonds from 57 are actually my mum’s but they accidentally got transferred into my name. She thought they were mine and sent them to me when I got married to change my name. Which I did. Fast forward 20 years and I have lost them. I decided to set up an online account to find them digitally and buy more. It was then it turned out they were from 1957. It is only 2 bonds so it’s no surprise they haven’t won.

It's an urban legend re newer bonds winning more often than older bonds - the only difference is that people with more bonds are more likely to win than people with fewer bonds.

£2. Not surprised uou haven’t won

I know. I’m only passing comment. And yes it’s only £2 but over 60 years you’d think there would be something.

No, I wouldn't expect to win something from 2x Premium bonds, even over 60 years.

With a £2 investment and the current odds of 24,500 to 1, you'd expect to win about once every 1,020 years. Still, at least you've been entered into the draw every month, and people do sometimes win big with tiny amounts.

There was the million pound winner who won with just £17 total holdings so it is possible, each pound bond has the same chance.

Oh def a chance

someone has to win
