Just £25. My worst month for ages. Not surprising really - my holding has gone down to pay for building work.

Hollyhead · 04/07/2023 06:51

£100 on full holding, ok with that, but not as good as the 50k I thought I might have won yesterday based on the high value wins list - what bad luck that someone else in my county bought the same holding amount in the same month!

Wiaa · 04/07/2023 06:51

We've only won £25 on 2xFH l, not happy this month

bluevelvetbox · 04/07/2023 06:55

£50 on FH holdings here. Better than nothing and still a win.

Good luck everyone this morning.

ErnestCelendine · 04/07/2023 06:56

£125 on about 11K so happy with that, and £50 for DH on the same.

lap90 · 04/07/2023 06:56

£275 for me on nearly FH. I'm pleased.

Spacemannn · 04/07/2023 06:57

£225 on FH! (I got nothing last month and £25 the month before that so I was due a good month!

LuckOfTheDrawer · 04/07/2023 07:01

£550 on full holdings here 🙂, my luckiest month I think.

largeagegapWLW · 04/07/2023 00:23

Nothing for me. My only win was my first month, I wonder if that was deliberate to keep me hooked?!?

So that's 8 straight months with no win. I've only got £4,000 though and don't have any more savings to add.

I've had around that amount for 18 months and never won anything at all 😂

onthefence23 · 04/07/2023 07:04

£150 for us on nearly full holdings GrinFlowers

DeepfriedPizza · 04/07/2023 07:18

Nothing for me but DD won £150. That's the second month in a row where DD has won and I haven't.

Happiestathome · 04/07/2023 07:19

@UncleRadley i have a 4k block that has never won in 25 draws. The other 4k block finally just won its 2nd prize having held it since March 21. It’s appearing not to be a lucky amount amongst us in this group

DaydreamerBetty · 04/07/2023 07:24

Well done to all of you that won!
Nothing for us, oh well I’m hoping with the better odds next month my luck will change.

napsarelifewithtwo · 04/07/2023 07:24

£100 on about 20k and £25 on FH. My FH account has won less than interest for 7 months now, which is disappointing. It'll be all coming out for remortgage soon the 'lost' interest money is frustrating

h0rsewithn0name · 04/07/2023 07:26

Nothing for me on £10k. Haven't had a win since April.

Neversaygoodbye · 04/07/2023 07:26

Nothing again, disappointed.
I've been adding in since last September and have had half holdings for the last 2 months, but haven't won anything in all that time. I'm giving it a year and will then decide what to do.

Sneakyblinders · 04/07/2023 07:30

£225 on approx £42k holdings - best month yet!

Last month I won £50 and then £25 before that so a fairly significant increase.

Mine is set to reinvest but I am sure I will use the win to justify multiple treats this month!

2023usernameNew · 04/07/2023 07:30

£50 on FH, lowest monthly in a while.

nothing for my DH again so we’re taking hers out and opening a 6% interest savings account for her.

Justsaying22 · 04/07/2023 07:31

£125 on £15k.

bumbledeedum · 04/07/2023 07:39

Is it just me or does there seems to be more months of winning nothing? I've always found PB to be a fairly consistent trickle of winnings but on 20k we have months in months of nothing these days. My youngest has nearly £5k and has won 2 x £25 in 2 years.

WowIlikereallyhateyou · 04/07/2023 07:40

£100 on FH,better than nothing!

Madcats · 04/07/2023 07:41

£25 for DH and me. We each have £20k-£25k holdings,

HatchetJob · 04/07/2023 07:46

£175 between DH and I each on FH. Nothing for DD but we’ve only set it up to pay winnings into.

baytreelane23 · 04/07/2023 07:47

£25 for me. I had just withdrawn a huge chunk so that was on 26k.

The number of months you win a prize is not really important.

What is important is how close your returns are to the interest rate that the premium bonds set. Either you are on target, above or below. Nowt you can do about it mind, but it is far more important than the number of months that you win.
