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)

I don’t think the high value winners hear until tomorrow either, just have to play spot your holding on the list today. Best to have a non-round holding to make it easier!

I only have £5,700 and haven't won for well over a year, that was £25.

Dad has full amount, won £50 last month and generally wins around £25 to £50 most months.

Keep hoping he will get a larger prize now he's in a care home, will go towards his ongoing cost.

Ooh, someone in the next council area was one of the £1M winners. I could literally be 2 miles away from a PB millionaire.

@WobblyLondoner On that link you can download a spreadsheet of all the prizes down to £1k, then run a search for your city/county and look at the holding amounts to see if there is a match. I got excited because someone in my city had won £5k but then I saw the holding amount was slightly different to mine and the winning bond came out of a big block, whereas all mine are in much smaller blocks.

No big win again here and I was so hopeful for this month! Oh well, hopefully a small win tomorrow.

No big win here so fingers crossed for tomorrow!

@Painintheass22 theres no guarantee with premium bonds that you will win anything at all. If you’ve got the maximum holding (50k) there’s obviously a much higher chance of winning and I think those with maximum holdings do find they win a small prize most months - but as I said there’s no guarantees. Equally you could put in just £100 and get luck and win the £1m prize - but far more likely to never win anything at all.

Some very old bond winners there - bought when born, maybe? But some big wins for people who bought in April - lucky bastards! One bought 20k and won 25k

They're my favourite kind of winners (other than me - yet to make that list!)

I like to keep the fantasy going till tomorrow so don't look too closely at the list!

Hi, does anyone have the link to check the £1k prize winners. It was online with the other prizes at the beginning of the year but I haven’t been able to find it for the past few months. Thanks

No big win for me but someone is celebrating a massive ROI. Total holdings £300 and they've won £50,000!

Good luck everyone for tomorrow!

It's posted a couple above your message

Thanks but that seems to be for the £5k+ winners, not the £1k winners?

You have to download the spreadsheet to see the £1000 winners.

You need to click on Download all winners at the bottom of the page.

Ah ok, I can’t download that on my iPhone. It says the link is broken/not recognised.

I can't download it from my phone, but have done it from my ipad - maybe try that?
We are not even £1k winners! ☹

Seems past 2/3mths the £1000 winners link is Broken as won’t download on iphone

bed now. Let’s hope wake up to £25

5 x £25 on full holdings.

Very happy

So I've "won" £25. Better than nothing, though I keep hoping for something a bit more substantial. This is automatically being reinvested in the next draw (June) if I recall correctly- and don't have to wait for the calendar month before being eligible. 🌹

DH got £25 and £50 on full holdings so that's £200 between us.

Biggest win yet for me with £150!! I'm very happy with that. Breakdown is 1 x £100 and 2 x £25 on nearly full holding.

Totals of £450 since January - so quite a bit higher than I would have had on an instants savers account! 😀

Wow @anotherbrewplease that's great. Apart from the time I won £1k, I've only ever had £25 prizes but won 1 to 4 of those in a single month.

I wasn't even sure if prizes like £100 existed because I thought maybe people were just describing their 2 X £25 prizes as £50 etc.

I got 2 X £25 this month on £35k, which I'm pleased with. For me, PBs are an alternative to an instant access savings account and a statistical exercise.

I 'should' win one prize a month so it's interesting how it varies and I've also slightly beaten instant access this year.

haha - thanks. Yup I remember when you won £1000 (saddo that I am...) - I guess you might be dining off that statistically as it were for at least a year.

Good luck to all others checking their PBs today....

Nothing for me - I suppose I can't complain though as I got 2 x £25 last month but still hoped that I'd still get something with the increased prize pot. Don't know about DH as he's still asleep. We're not doing well so far this year. Good luck everybody!
