Guys, you know its a lottery, right?

Of course it is but how would you feel if you purchased £40k worth of lottery tickets and didn't win a bean?

Thats what 'they' want you to believe

I know I probably sounds a bit like Homer Simpson there.. but there's being unlucky on the PB and then there's 'taking the pee'!!

Skint, at least you can get your stake back.

probably can't quite tell your boss where to get off just yet, unless Ernie is the chap stood at your front door with a cheque!?

Ernie lives over the road, I'm tempted to go over and give him a kicking for not giving me a prize this month

Not a bad start to the year, 225 quid on 20k!

This is how is should be advertised - a no lose lottery. Ditch the national lottery and allow people to buy "tickets" for this easily, public then has savings and the chance to win a bit of cash, no?

Good to hear someone winning more than £25. We all won in our household 4 x £25.

[rog007]

I'm certainly enjoying a great rate for what is a relatively (notwithstanding inflation) low risk with the possibility of the big win. Got max invested and getting roughly £25 every 4 or 5 months. Had a run of three months in a row of £25 last summer.

Hardly what I would call good on £30-40k investment!!

Hilarious, isn't it?
Someone is happy with a £5/6 a month return on £30k+ invested!
There's a house advertised near Durham for £20k with a tenant in returning £4k PA.
But these premium bonds are top drawer...!

[Hoofy]

Had about £15k, and with an 8 month drought, I pulled out and stuck it in the bank.

[rog007]

Notwithstanding the odds of winning prizes; there's a chance of a million and all prizes are free of any tax liability. And they're hassle free. But I certainly wouldn't recommend putting the whole allowance in if that was your only investment opportunity. As part of a much larger plan it's just a bit of fun.

No but if you log in and look at the "transactions" page, it shows me that I have had 1 x £25 prize reinvested on 3rd Feb i.e. today. So I can tell that I won 1 x £25 in the Feb draw.
