Another poor month of a single £25 on max holdings. Are you really sure they increased rate to 3.3%?

This month's results are not out until tomorrow.

Too soon for results

Sure that's not your last month's winnings ?

Someone had a right touch there.....£100k win on a £400 bond bought in July 21, holding £6100 in total. Well played!

My wife was scanning through the big winners list and commented there were a couple of £25K wins with bonds bought in Jan23, so their first draw. Hope they don't expect that every month!

Considering all i was winning was the multiples of £25. that explains why despite the prize fund going up im actually winning less.

Not if

Whoever Easternlight was quoting said:

"The odds of each £1 Bond winning a prize will remain at 24,000 to 1"

surely? Or am I revealing how much maths I've forgotten?

Well it isn't me, I've been in with the max for two months now and not a bean, what are the odds of having the max and winning nothing in a year? Seems to be how I'm going. I'm trying to moan one in for next month now. edit, might be too soon, are results out today or tomorrow or a mixture?

As it does every month, and yet every month we have to tell somebody he's looking at last month's results.

Doesn't look like I have won a big prize again. Booo

One day !

Well that's me told. In my defence it's only the second month I've had enough to make it worth checking. I am however standing in the corner wearing a dunces cap as penance.

1 in 72,000,000,000 ie chances of never winning basically zero

I paid in £12k to my Premium Bonds yesterday - to form the basis fo my emergency savings.

I will be disappointed if I don't at least win £10k

We were about to drop the max in as we've received funds to clear our mortgage but we have to wait for a 5% penalty to expire (26 months) and want it somewhere safe. Thinking now maybe to split with a fixed bond.

Loving the £60 holding in wales, £50 bought in 1988 winning £10,000. Good for them!

[stichill99]

Oooops Sorry.just had a quick glance this morning and saw £25 but you are right it was Feb draw!

I wonder if they will know they won. Guessing that old would be a paper bond and if they aren't in the same house and a few changes of owner since, it may go unclaimed if not registered. I have a £2.00 bond from 1972 that isn't registered to my NS&I account but my mum still lives at the same address so if it comes in I'm fine (unless she keeps quiet )
