Premium Bonds - Not a bean for months now!!!!

£5,025 on £50k last month, £50 this month.
I've always been notified by post in the past. The earlier in the month, the larger the prize (generally). The £5k came through around 6th last month, the £25 a week or so later. I signed up for e-mail alerts, and yesterday morning got a mail saying I'd won again. Checked the date and got excited thinking I'd had another good one. Apparently all wins are notified early in the month when signed up for electronic alerts. 2 x £25...
Shouldn't complain....

They have an app, which is pretty convenient. Just a five digit pin, and all is revealed. I say "all" is revealed. I my case it seems to be "almost nothing" is revealed.
I think it's ironic that I tend to bleat about getting 'only' £25 on £50k. That's what a bank 'savings' account will give me in a year!

That's how they suck you in, get ready for months of £0
I'm withdrawing it in July - it's a birthday present for my little sister whose next birthday is a significant one. I decided at her last birthday to give her £1k+whatever winnings it makes in that time.If it wins big I might take a cut though!
£25 on 10k
Ok, not much but my first win. 4 months of nothing was starting to grate. Especialy as my parents have won something every month for 4 months.
Loads of negativity on here over the last few months, presumably by people who don't hold premium bonds. Let's remember it's all just a bit of fun.
