October over £1000 winners

app will show smaller wins tonight midnight

@OneFrenchEgg I haven’t either and wondered if lots of people are doing it!

be interested to hear your results as I put £50/month in for my little boy!

150, 125, 175, 175 here on 2 FH and the kids house deposits. DD has just had a house offer accepted so hers will be spent in early 2024 if all goes to plan.

To be fair @hopingforthemillion I am quite tidy so it's more pleasing to have even chunks. I'm going to invest £5000 at a time and save that up elsewhere

2 prizes of £50 and £100 equaling £150!!
£5.8k holdings so absolutely delighted! My best ever win yet 🥳🥳

Well Done to all the winners!
I won nothing for 8 months so don’t despair if you haven’t won this month, there’s always next month!

@Blondeshavemorefun Congratulations! Good to see you’re back in the loop again 😁

I calculated that wrong (used 6 months prizes instead of 12 months). It's still only 2.1% though ☹️

£100 for us on about £40000, not a great couple of months but we were well ahead. Shame, £25k would definitely have been handy.

No not £1😄 didn’t know how to phrase it. I mean I have one premium bond in my name

Your 6 month rate is better than my annual rate 😂

Another £100 for me on FH. Sigh. I know I've been silly leaving it in here when I think k of the money I've missed out on, but I can't help be enticed!!

Thanks @RoseandVioletCreams and @mechanicalpencil

Ending the year on a high 😁

@AlfieandAnnieRose, the total number of £s you have invested is how many bonds you have. So, if you have £1,000 invested, you have 1,000 bonds (and therefore 1,000 chances of winning in every draw).

New thread for when this is full

Nothing for DS with 9k, I won £50 on 23k and DH won £125 on 31k.

@GeneCity oh I see! Thank you for explaining

I took a few thousand out this month to pay for a holiday so was over the moon to win £50 on around £4.5k holdings.

£150 for me
£100 for DH
Both on full holdings

Only our second month in the draws and we won £125 last month between us so pleased with that for now but obviously will be watching the ROI closely!

£250 this month on full holdings

Nothing for me for the last couple of months. Started the year with 9k which has been gradually built up to just over 10k. £300 won in total giving me an annual return of 3% which isn’t great but could be worse. Hopefully next month will be more fruitful for us all! 😊

£150 for me, £200 for ds.

I got £50 on about £15k, but dd did really well - £150 on £9k

125 on 40k for me and zero on 10k for DH

@daisychain01 can you set this up automatically?

£475 on full holdings,best month yet!

£100 for me on £5k, very pleased. Have had a great year
£100 + £100 + £50 + £25 + £100 (Jan to dec) and I'm pretty low holdings so feeling like I've done well

A disappointing month for me. Only £25. Not really surprising as I took almost £20k out this month to pay for building work.

Last month of premium bonds for me and I've won £250 which is not bad at all!

Depositing it next month as it's being moved to our offset mortgage account.

Will miss the thrill every month
