Nothing from 1963 to now ,what would £50 properly invested be worth now ...

Do you know if you cash them in and re-buy you'll get different numbers?
Although i think the minimum 'investment' (HA, that's a joke!) is now £100, IIRC.

Did anyone else notice this months million winners?

one Male and one Female both from West Sussex, both bonds brought in the same month/year.... Could you imagine if that was a husband and wife!


£25 for me this month, zero for the wife, same as last month.

Tin foil hat time.
Despite holding a lot of his money in them, I know someone (genuinely not me, I haven't got any money...) who believes they're used as a tax-free, under the radar, pay off for folk from the Government.
Obviously, the larger wins. Not the £25 ones...

I'm the title of this topic personified.

Nobody should view PB's as an investment. Risk free gamble more like which in my book is the best kind of gambling.

My wife emailed me yesterday to say that she'd picked up three £25.00 prizes in this month's draw, which I didn't think was too bad.

Later, I checked my own emails to find that I'd got six (yes, 6) £25.00 prizes.

Shame none of them was "the biggie".

I put £5K into Premium Bonds for my daughter.

Got the bonds the tail end of last year and just received a cheque for £100

[Avidfanofstuff]

1 x £25

[lbc]

Only £25

Seems I have no luck left with these now, time to cash out methinks!

Pretty sure I have just about the max for two people in there now - 1x £25 this month - funnier than last months haul.

[AyBee]

Just the 1 £25 for me this month (on £48k)

[227bhp]

I've got more in there than ever before and zero wins again, It's all coming out soon to pay my mortgage off.

[33q]

2 x £25 for me and 1 x £25 for her on about combined £46k

[Steamer]

ooooo.... not looking like a good month in here then

I can only add 1x £25 to the total too.

A sign of the times me thinks.

[Pork]

1 x £25 for me.

One day....

[Matt172]

4x £25 for me

[SHutchinson]

1 x £25, better than the last two months of £0

I win a lot less now that the prizes have changed.

They aren't going to change the rules to your benefit!
It's only ever going to be changed if it's to theirs.
