1 x £100
2 x £25

Not a bad month.
Never had a £100 single cheque, your on a roll - best month was 10 cheques (in the days before I checked online) and as I opened them one by one hoping for 10 * 500 it was 10 * £50 (the minimum then) couldnt believe it.

Seems this thread has helped me out a bit!

I have the 30k max, but not had any wins for ages!

Then this week two £25 wins tun up at the same time!

I do wonder whey they always send them in separate envelopes though?

Some wins in the past I have had 4 separate envelopes turn up in a single month.

My dad's won 10k and 5k over the years (within the past 15). Not to mention a lot of smaller ones. (£125 this month)

I've had about £1300 worth since my very early teens and i've never had more than a £25 win! Havn't won in quite a long while actually! Will try to remember to post here when I do.

£30k for years with hardly anything but someone i know a few months ago is £30k in and constantly getting £25.

So my question is is it worth selling my £30k and buying back hopefully with new numbers as i know more people winning who recently purchased than those who have had for years.

I know it shouldnt make a difference but it does seem to

If my dad doesn't win for 3 months he cashes them in and buys again.

Hope that helps.

If you take out then buy in, you incur the one month delay in being entered for the draw I believe, thus halving your chances on what is already a very long shot of winning anything worth having.

Am I right in thinking you all have the same amount of bonds?
Have you had a look back of the last 6 months to see which one of you is the luckiest?

Im the luckiest, missus the worst, FiL in the middle - this is the first month in ages we have all won, I haven't had more than a £25 bond in this investment (2 years) but have had £500 pa tax free and live in hope.
For info missus and FiL bought 12 months ago, I have had mine 2 years
