After several months of nothing on 25k I've won £50, £50 and £100. It didnt show as pending reinvestment on my blue app so I thought that meant I had not won anything.
Dh has won £50 x 2 on FH

Escapingtherealityoflife · 02/09/2023 00:09

£150 for me.
winning history is running at 1.9% in the last year😕

CherryBlossoms88 · 02/09/2023 00:10

£250 for me!

Sadly not on the big winners list / never am

But hoping for £25 on the app tomorrow

For newbies - the above list shows the day before the app and lists winners down to £1000

Last working day of month is the millionaire

First working day of month the list of winners via link

Second working day of month the app showing all wins esp the small ones

I did well last month and month before. I don't have many bonds. Less than 5 figures but some months be lucky and win £25

Last month won £225 - 2 x 100 and 1 x £25

So sure tomorrow I won't win anything but it's the thrill

As Someone said above that small holdings can win but seems mainly £50k owners win

As Someone said above that small holdings can win but seems mainly £50k owners win

Why do you think that is - you only need one premium bond to win, so why are the big winners usually those with big holdings?

CopperSeahorses · 02/09/2023 00:14

£325 on £41k holding, I am really pleased with that

DrMadelineMaxwell · 02/09/2023 00:15

Ok...now I see it does show as pending processing my wins on the blue app. Weirdly it only shows 150 not 200 so I wonder if some take longer to show as the prize checker def shows 3 prizes.

Sewingdufus · 02/09/2023 00:16

Well, I tried to check online and see if my holding had increased. Nothing. Gutted.

Just checked the app, 2 prizes, £25 and £500 - largest ever win, never got over 100 before!!

woohoo!!!

Happiestathome · 02/09/2023 00:18

£125 for me and £50 for my husband. I’m happy, but also it’s not amazing with rates as they are

wizzler · 02/09/2023 00:20

150 on 37k, and 50 on DS account which has 10k. Ticking over

Robocop91 · 02/09/2023 00:22

£100 on 30k and £50 on FH

happinessischocolate · 02/09/2023 00:25

£0 on £20k

And then it advises me to buy more haha more like to get rid of them if this carries on

slithytoveisascientist · 02/09/2023 00:26

£100 on total holdings of £35k
Crap

FiveShelties · 02/09/2023 01:04

Zero for me on 40K and 225 for DH on 40K.

Not bad but could be much much better. Onwards to October😁

CallieQ · 02/09/2023 01:14

£150 for me on £25k
Still keep hoping for a big win!

napsarelifewithtwo · 02/09/2023 01:34

£25 on FH and £100 on 20k. Another disappointing month compared to what I could have got in interest

EucalyptusAndOranges · 02/09/2023 03:00

Nothing on 32k and thinking of cashing in - the interest rate elsewhere is better!

PriamFarrl · 02/09/2023 03:33

Lady laughing at carrots and £100 on £11k

KohlaParasaurus · 02/09/2023 03:46

Lean month. 2 x £50 for me, 1 x £50 for DH, both on FH.

Thestartofsomethinggood · 02/09/2023 03:59

100 on about 20k so reasonable
@Luana1 think of it as blocks so if you invest 25 pounds it’s one block. If you invest 100 it’s 4 .all in the draw. So those with max invested have maximum blocks

s14a · 02/09/2023 04:37

Nothing again this month. I'm getting pretty fed up with nothing!

Pablosdog · 02/09/2023 04:59

I’ve have put in a withdrawal of 3/4 of my premium bonds money and am moving them into a 5% savings account with Tandem. Figure if I’m going to be really lucky, I’ll be lucky with the remaining bonds. As for the rest I’d rather take the current interest levels!

HappyValleyFan1 · 02/09/2023 05:50

£125 on 30k for me. Have had a few good months recently so I'm ok with that

PurplePositivity · 02/09/2023 06:00

Nothing for me and I'll be taking some more out to cover some home improvements.

largeagegapWLW · 02/09/2023 06:10

Nothing again! Seriously? One £50 win for me in the first month, 10 maybe 11 months ago. Only got £4,000 in there but still. I don't believe that early win was accidental.

ChessieFL · 02/09/2023 06:17

Nothing for me. Going to have to seriously consider whether to move the money elsewhere now. DD won £50 on £12k holdings.
