It does look as though they're trying to phase out the £25 prize though doesn't it - the way they've been reducing them over recent months. Personally,I'd rather they increased the number of prizes and gave more holders the chance of winning something. Even £25 is a little boost these days!

Totally @recklessgran

I get very excited if win £25

Yes, just added another £500, inching towards £10000 in there!

RockaLock · 25/05/2023 10:03

I will have £30k in this draw for the first time, up from £20k. Recently I've won almost nothing, so I am hopeful of better luck this time around. Otherwise I shall sulk Angry

My deposit this month will just tip me over the £10k - nice to hit a milestone!

Was hoping the rate might go up again for June but no sign of any announcement.

s14a · 25/05/2023 10:09

I've already earmarked this NHS lump sum in there. We currently have 13500. I'm going to put another 450 in this month and then 3k next month.

We won £100 last month which was very exciting!

What day will they come out? Is it the 2nd?

Suzi9989 · 25/05/2023 10:14

Next draw is on 2nd June, 8 day count down!!

Good luck everyone 💐

doitwithlove · 25/05/2023 10:47

£25. on £1,250. Have had PB for 13years .

lemonyellows · 25/05/2023 12:04

We are (hopefully) moving later this year, so my holdings will be used in moving costs. Not many months left, so come on premium bonds, do your thing before it's all gone 😭

Happiestathome · 25/05/2023 14:27

I’m excited but hoping it doesn’t come too quickly, as I’m looking forward to half term off next week

It'll be my first eligible draw, and I'm excited (perhaps a little too excited for someone with 5k holdings...).

pinkfondu · 25/05/2023 17:58

I lost you lol. Best ever 2 x £100

OneFrenchEgg · 25/05/2023 20:05

@DuckBushCityLimit yes I am expecting a tax refund which should nudge me to £10,000. Will probably need it at some point (uni for dc in a year)

Eaumyword · 25/05/2023 22:32

Starting to dream big for next week!

theblueflowers · 26/05/2023 11:24

Hopping on for this month.

This is my last month of properly earning before SMP so a win would be lovely!

Dooopylally · 26/05/2023 12:03

I got £25 in May. I was getting used to getting at least a hundred!

SwedishEdith · 26/05/2023 17:40

Is it too late to add any funds for the July draw?

I think had to be in by 28 of month and be in one whole calender month so put in now should be ok for July

SwedishEdith · 27/05/2023 08:28

Thanks. I think, with the bank holiday, I'm probably too late for this month now. I mean, too late to move so in time for July's draw.

WobblyLondoner · 28/05/2023 11:56

I've just bought some bonds today and the message said they would be included in the July draw.

SwedishEdith · 28/05/2023 12:40

Oh, thank you. Will give it a go.

Okki · 28/05/2023 19:49

Well, I have decided today that if I don't win anything this month, I'm taking it out -20k - and putting it in a 12 month fixed bond @ 5.06%. I've won about £150 in 12 months, which is no longer good enough.

Okki · 28/05/2023 19:51

Actually, £250 in 13 months on £21k.

openstop · 28/05/2023 19:53

When is the draw
