2 x £50 for me on £33k holding.

May move some money out as I've just signed up for a one year First Direct Regular Savings account that's giving me 7% interest.

HiccupHorrendousHaddock · 04/01/2023 07:35

£100 - hurray!

Underroad · 04/01/2023 07:37

I won £50! I’m so excited because I’ve had premium bonds (only £6500 worth) for 18 months and only won £25 once until today. I did the luck calculator thing a couple of months ago because I was getting frustrated with it and it showed that my luck was bad compared to most people with that much invested so I felt a bit grumpy about it. I know it’s only £50 but it’s given me a little boost when I needed it.

FedUpWithBriiiiick · 04/01/2023 07:39

£0 for me and £0 for DM.

PrettyCherryBlossom · 04/01/2023 07:46

4 prizes totalling £200 on £30k for me. My best month so far, and a welcome change as it’s almost as much as I’d won over the whole of 2022.

WowIlikereallyhateyou · 04/01/2023 07:50

£150 on FH, best so far.

Trumpton · 04/01/2023 07:56

2 x £25 and 1 x £50 on 27K for me.
Zero for DH on similar amount.
Over the year we are getting 3% which we will stick with.
DD will probably have it for house deposit later this year so not worth moving it.

PurpleBananas22 · 04/01/2023 07:56

Nothing on full holdings. Absolutely gutted! I've averaged about £50 per month for a year and was debating to move to a high interest account. Think this seals it for me!

goldennotyetoldie · 04/01/2023 08:00

£175on full holdings. Not bad. 😊

h0rsewithn0name · 04/01/2023 08:02

Nothing for me on £10k. Next month though, next month....

Chanel05 · 04/01/2023 08:03

DH and I each have full holdings. Nothing for him and £350 for me.

Daydreamer22 · 04/01/2023 08:04

Nothing on £4.3k. Won twice last year total of £75. Which was good enough for me. Not sure why I get so excited. I’ve only won 3 times since I invested in 2020🙈

I’m continuing using to add a little monthly though. I have an NHS pension, overpay the mortgage and another savings account. so this is just a a little extra account for a rainy day tbh.

My partner has full holdings he has always been really lucky and wins £25+ most months. Last month it was £100. He waits for the email 🙄

UrsulaPandress · 04/01/2023 08:09

You can add him onto your app. If you know his holder’s number.

Wiglio · 04/01/2023 08:10

Nothing here on FH 🙄

NatMoz · 04/01/2023 08:13

I won 2 x £100 and 1 x £50 this month on £24k.

Pretty chuffed although my dad won £275 and my mum £325 so they both did really well too. Neither are on full holdings

I was all geared up for the increase in prizes, then got 0.

I only have £7k, and have been averaging a £25 prize every 4th month. Next month I should be due something based on that pattern, but we'll see!

Well done to the winners!

FedUpWithBriiiiick · 04/01/2023 08:32

My DM has a question.

She has £10k invested in one go. She has won £25 previously.

That does not remove the whole £10K from the draw does it? Just the holding that won £25 right?

LittleFriendSusan · 04/01/2023 08:33

Nothing again (on c.£29k). £150 in total over last 6 months which is a bit rubbish tbh!

jevoudrais · 04/01/2023 08:35

£125 for me on £50k. Had £50 in Dec, £100 in Nov and £50 in Oct.

CaffeineQueen · 04/01/2023 08:42

£150 for us this month (£550 over the past 6 months) on £38K holdings.

£50 for DS1 (£100 over the past 6 months on £5.5K holdings).

DS2 didn't win (never has) but he's only 9 months old with £1850 holdings.

I wasn’t aware that a holding was removed from the draw once it had won! I thought all of them were in the draw each month.

theAntsareMyFriends · 04/01/2023 08:48

£25 on 20k again. Every time the prizes go up I get hopeful that I'll get something more than £25. Still it's better than nothing.
I'm going to give it until March when I will have held bonds for 1 full year and will make a decision about moving them or not.

Forgotmypasswordsgain · 04/01/2023 08:54

£125 this month after nothing in Dec, on ~40k, best month yet but will need to replace our car soon so holdings about to go down.

I don't think any get removed.
Most of my winnings have come from one block of numbers even though I have others.
