@Parky04 think you are this months winner so far for sun on just yours

@Cactusali I'm often £25. Once many years ago I won £100 cheque. That's how long ago lol

Odd month lucky and 2 x £25

But I don't have anywhere near full holdings

If I had I would want £25 + every month

We did OK this month, thanks to the lovely young lady with her sunshine yellow dress 😊

DH got 2 prizes, 1 x £25 and 1 x £100 which was lovely to see on my tablet as he hadn't seen himself win because of the PB App glitch which I sorted out last month.

I got 1 x £50 (FH) which I am fine with, as I have been quite lucky recently.

I will add the £50 to DH's account and his winnings get automatically reinvested as it's our plan to build up his holdings this year to try and get to FH.

With inflation at 4% there's a better chance of wins, now that they've increased the prizes, and even when inflation was very low, I was still doing better than a savings account over the course of a year.

It's the only thing I don't agree with Martin Lewis about, he doesn't think PB are a good investment. I like their liquidity and the flutter-value, where would we be without our monthly thrill on here 😊

Won £100 and £100 last month.So far a good start for 2023!

Agree @daisychain01 The thrill of few days before plus then the million day - the over £1k link then the actual app just makes life exciting

Where else can you have a chance of winning money and a million every month with no risk

Unlike the lottery you lose your stake plus rarely a million /6 numbers is won

Get 5 and like £10k

Won 75 on 40k. Only 25 last month so an improvement

MercyChant66 · 02/02/2023 16:11

Hmmm... I'm beginning to agree with Martin Lewis. Full holding here and nothing in the last 3 months which feels pretty unlucky really!

Scottishgirl85 · 02/02/2023 16:24

Nothing on my full holdings...

£25 on DH full holdings.

Our worst month yet. Pretty rubbish for £100k but about to blow it on an extension so no better place to put it really.

Scottishgirl85 · 02/02/2023 16:24

Gosh no idea where all that space came from!

Mystic Daisy here - you'll be getting the knock on your door next month with the £££££ Miiiiiiiiillion 😆

Aquarius1234 · 02/02/2023 16:48

Most people would be at work or not in the house. A phone call or voicemail I would much prefer if I did win big!

Aquarius1234 · 02/02/2023 16:48

I can't be doing with unexpected visitors..I'd hide.

BrutusMcDogface · 02/02/2023 17:15

Two of my kids won £25 each. They have around £7k each.

@MercyChant66 that is very unlucky

WeAllHaveWings · 02/02/2023 17:45

Woohoo! 🥳

Between us (2 x nearly FH) we won 4 x £25, 1 x £100 and 1 x £500 !!!!!

Our highest ever win!

AnnieSnap · 02/02/2023 18:02

I won nothing, nada, zilch on holdings of just over £31,000. Husband won £200 on holdings of £20,000 😲😬🙂

losingit31 · 02/02/2023 18:07

We got (all FH each):
Me and DH total £300
My parents total £175

WimbyAce · 02/02/2023 18:22

I got £125 😃

Nothing again but only on 4K holdings

I’m on 4 too and a bit. I last won October £25. Only 3 times since I started in 2020 I’m adding each month but I’m giving it this year to see what the return is, interest rates are climbing and i may get more. We shall see.

I do like the fun side….

Thank you, Mystic Daisy - your prediction actually stopped me from cashing them in today in a strop! I shall let you know how I get on next month!

Blondeshavemorefun · 02/02/2023 17:39

@MercyChant66 that is very unlucky

Show quote history

It is a bit, isn't it, although obviously I have to preface that with the fact that I'm very lucky to have £50K in premium bonds in the first place... (although only temporarily as the money is earmarked for someone else). Hopefully that's the end of my bad-luck streak, though!

Hollyhead · 02/02/2023 19:36

2x25 on a full holding, just about enough for me to keep going. It’s a much trickier risk to take with the interest now bearing in mind that you’d be certain of £125 per month interest on a full holding in a savings account.

Neddevine · 02/02/2023 20:08

£25 each for DH and me. Not as good as last month but better than nothing!

Roseyleaf · 02/02/2023 20:14

Nothing on £40k this month for me. I'll have another £5k in the March draw so fingers crossed.

Talapia · 02/02/2023 20:25

£100 for me on full holding.
£100 for DH on 20k
£75 for DC on 7k.

Congratulations to all those with winnings. Not too long for the next draw for everyone.
