PREMIUM BONDS MARCH 2023

[Blondeshavemorefun]

Other one is almost full so a new thread for us to share all our winnings (I hope) tomorrow for the under £1000k prizes

good luck everyone

Are you all getting your results from the app? Have the emails been received yet?

Yes, just from the app. The emails can take days.

It's my first month where the prize isn't being invested how long does it normally take to land in your bank?

I got £125 on full holdings which is OK but I've only won £175 over the last 6 months (4 months with nothing) so it really isn't making financial sense any more despite the fun and frolics at the start of the month (which I do enjoy). I'd been secretly hoping for more this month as I was passed over for promotion at work.... but I know life doesn't work that way!

prize payouts have been deposited in my bank account between the 8th to the 10th of the month.

I won £50 on full holdings. Better than nothing last month. But I won £1075 in February which really improved my winning total over the past year. Last month was the first time I had full holdings.

Me £150 on £35k
Dc1 £25 on £25k
Dc2 nothing on £10k

lowest month for ages

We got £250 on £30k holdings
We have won something every month for the last 6 months

There are 3 apps

Blue cream and white

£75 on 10k. Very happy with that, especially as I got £150 last month too!

Fab thanks

Which is the white app?

£100 for me this month. Pleased as this is my first premium bond win this year.

£600 on FH1
£125 on FH2

best ever , last month we got £600 between the two FHs so two very exciting months after some miserable ones. Expect that will be it for us this year but fingers crossed our luck continues!

£200 for me this month. It's my biggest win ever and my first win this year so I am very excited. Congratulations to all the prizewinners and commiserations to everyone who lost out. To next month .... 🥂

1 x £25
1 x £50
on £6k holdings
First time I have won in 10 months and first time I have 2 prizes!
Delighted especially as anxiety has been awful lately due to work stress.

Congratulations to all winners and better luck next time to those who didn’t win this month.

£625 on FH. Best month ever

£125 (3 prizes) on 13k. I was delighted to get 3 wins. I have never won more than £50 prize though.

@UrsulaPandress I have these 3

I deleted re-downloaded blue and working now

Oh, what does the white app do? Why do they have two apps, let alone three 😄?

Sadly only £25 for me with full holding!

£100 for me on £32,000 nothing for DH on £20,000

Tbh not sure 😂😂😂

Has things like this. So I used to log in and see amount I had and prizes but would have to always a text to confirm it was me

I moaned about it on one of the previous threads of pb I did

And someone said about the blue one

Doesn't seem to be much diff tbh

Nothing on 26k. It helped me make up my mind to take some out so at least that was helpful!

Possibly a stupid question but surely your odds of winning are dependent on how many people own bonds so if less people have premium bonds then the chance of me winning would be higher. Is that correct?

Is there anywhere that tells you how many bonds are in each draw? I was just wondering if people are more likely to sell bonds off at certain times of the year and if that would then be the best draws to increase your bonds for as you have a higher chance of winning.

The odds are 1 in 24,000. So the number of prizes increases with more bonds. If that makes sense.

After 4 prizes on £18k last month, I won £25 this month. DH on a similar balance won zilch.

Second draw our new holding of £40,000 has been in, and it's won £100 (a £50 and 2 x £25).

DH - who pretends not to care - came skipping in to wake me up when he received the email! He said 'it's got lots of banners and streamers, so it must be a good one! Bless. Not complaining, at least we got something this month.
