ZERO POUNDS. I got £100 last month though so lol

anewbook · 03/05/2023 21:30

Nothing here on £6k
Well Done to the winners! 👏

QueenOfHiraeth · 03/05/2023 21:36

I'm getting seriously pissed off as we have lots between the family yet rarely win. We are going to tally up this year and move to high interest accounts if it doesn't improve

Caterina99 · 04/05/2023 00:32

Nothing. Again.

Another one seriously considering the interest rates on savings bonds right now.

Starseeking · 04/05/2023 00:39

I just put £25k in PB, for the first time since my childhood holdings of £100. May was the first draw I was eligible, though I haven't seen any emails yet. Is there somewhere specific that I check my numbers?

Do they email you? I can't get in on the app at the moment

You need to reinstall it and then it should work.

There's a prize checker app 👍

Wingingitbestican · 04/05/2023 10:57

My best month yet 2 x 100 on just under 34k. Total for the year so far is 450.00 - which is pretty much what I would have got in a savings account. As long as that keeps happening, I’ll keep the premium bonds for a little longer. Well done all winners!

mrsbyers · 04/05/2023 10:59

£200 on full holding this month , happy enough with that

OneFrenchEgg · 04/05/2023 11:26

Checking in! Won £150 this year on (now) £9100. Planning to get to £25k slowly.

WithASpider · 04/05/2023 11:49

£100 this month on £2,800 holdings. £150 so far this year.

Starseeking · 04/05/2023 12:30

Thanks @DeepfriedPizza, I had assumed they would email me about any winnings.

I downloaded the prize checker app as suggested, and it turned out I have won 1 x £100 and 1 x £50, so I'm pleased with getting £150 back on my first draw. Roll on June!

DaydreamerBetty · 05/05/2023 07:43

No win for my DD either on circ £3k.

Blondeshavemorefun · 05/05/2023 10:03

Yes, me too. I got £100 on £28K, so £250 so far this year, which isn't good. DC1 got £150 and DC2 £50. Not sure how much they have these days.

FrownedUpon · 05/05/2023 11:01

£50 here on 45k.

£25 for me.
Best was April £325
But had nothing December January or February on almost max holding.

Pemba · 08/05/2023 11:27

£100 for me on almost full holdings and £125 for DH on FH. Not too bad.

violetscarlet · 08/05/2023 11:32

£250 on £49k.
Happy with that.

£100 this month on £2,800 holdings. £150 so far this year.

That's very lucky and far in excess of the odds I believe.

I have approx. 18x the amount of bonds as you (FH), but have only won about 2.5x as much.

InMySpareTime · 08/05/2023 14:48

I'm well over odds, putting a bit in each month I now have £5k but had £3-5k across the year. Won £575 this year, mostly one win of £500 in April.

SpecialControlGroup · 08/05/2023 14:58

I've not won anything since November!

GasPanic · 08/05/2023 15:20

SpecialControlGroup · 08/05/2023 14:58

I've not won anything since November!

Do you have full holding ? That is quite impressive.

Like I said on the other thread, I went 5 months without winning anything. when I calculated the probability it was around equal to winning £5,000 to £10000 - so pretty unlikely - just on the wrong side of the trade :(

Winning £5000 I think is around once in a lifetime odds (90 years), winning £1000 once a decade and those are both with full holdings.

Mumsnet appears really lucky (apart from me).
