PREMIUM BONDS MAY DRAW ONWARDS

[Blondeshavemorefun]

Other one is almost full so a new thread for us to share all our winnings (I hope)

fir the first time I won £50 / usually £25 if I win

and May brought 25 and 50 so £75. Happy days

quite a few have won this month. Always a joyful feeling seeing the dancing lady in the rain kr sunshine

75 on full holding : (

£225 on full holdings, significantly better than recent months so defo pleased.

Still got about £1500 to get back for the rest of the year to bring it level with an easy access savings - here’s hoping!

£225 for me on FH on FH very pleased , I’m like you @Spacemannn had £25 last month and nil the month before
DH can’t find his holders number …. again , I have suggested he lets me keep it with mine to make it easier ( for me ) but oh no !

DH won nothing again but there’s only a couple of grand in there now after we spent it on Florida 😬 going to move his to easy access savings to accrue some interest at least. It’s been up and down but he won one £25 in two years when we had 10k in there, last year some time.

He just needs the app with Face ID and you’ll never need his holders number again 😆

£125 on FH for me.
since Jan 2022 I’ve won £1650 in total so that’s just over 3% interest.

£50 on £40k for my DD. She’s won £1200 since Sept 2022 so 3% on that too.

Not too bad but I might have a rethink soon about moving some of it.

£50 for DH on FH and £150 for me on FH.
(Saving for extension, big mortgage and not rich!)

Also having a rethink of best place for savings, and only have 6-9 months left of having anything in the bank.

£200 on £37.5k which is my best month since the the first when I won over £500. It does feel like I got hooked in with a nice win on Month 1 and then very little since - it's been extremely disappointing since January when the number of prizes went up! So hopefully this is the start of a lucky streak!

Really unlucky
£150 between 3 different accounts

Bah let’s wait for August!

I also won on my first ever month, £150 on £26k 2 months ago, then nothing since. From the sounds of it perhaps they work it that way intentionally!

Omfg

Boy with ice cream 😄😄

I've won 3 prizes - £225

1 x 25
2 x 100

Last month I won a hundred

Always been £25. Think I had £100 years ago once

Now two month in a row

Going to reinvest

£200 on FH.

We got nothing on 15k this month (4th month of having any).
Not too upset because we have won the last 3 months.
Our plan is to leave it in for the year, see the interest rate and then look at moving if needed

Well done blondes

Yay for @Blondeshavemorefun

Why don't you check his number for him. I check dh tho he's has a tiny amount - more tinier than me - so never won

Omg!!!!! 1000 pounds!!!!! Absolutely amazing!!!!

I won £50 and £100 this month on £30,000.

I've definitely noticed bigger prizes recently, up until a few months ago I had only ever won £25 or multiples of £25, but now both my OH and I have won £50 and £100 prizes.

Still waiting for the big one though 😄

Oh lucky you! That's fab!!

Are you going to reinvest or spend?

£100! Really pleased with that as I only have a 3k holding so that’s a very good return

Wow amazing @MorrisZapp

You are this months highest winner

So far

I got £100+£50+25+25 on full holding but I've worked out that over the past year or so I've only had 2% max. I know rates have gone up but I can get 6% on a 1 year savings account no so I'm thinking of cashing in.

I won £25 and £100. Very happy with that.

The win rate is something like 1/30000 bonds. So for £4000, you'd expect to win something like once every eight months. At a return of 3%, you'd hope those winnings would be about £120 - but the most common prize is obviously the £25.

I have about 40k, thus tend to win something monthly. Ignoring my big win, my return is 3% so far this year.

But then I did get a big win too - 10k.

My husband grumbles, even though he only has 1k in there and won £100 on it.

Won NOTHING on 49k holding 😢
