Zero on 20k, but I've had a good run this year.
Good luck people.

get the app on your phone and add her bond number to your app as well as your's far easier most of the time the email is delayed by a good few days with the app you can check on the day
Good point! I use to have her in the app on my old phone, will add her details again. Thanks.
It is a lot faster, but it's the day after the draw, not on the day. If it falls over a weekend it's delayed too.
The app is much easier too.

No wins last month as I borrowed 5k, i've put it back this month, it hasn't been in the draw, but 2 x £25 scratchchin

£0 for me on £25k this month. June I got £0 but July £100 so am hoping for a repeat of that pattern!
Am on 1% return after 7 draws.

1 x £100 and 5 x £25 so £225 this month on £50k. Very happy with that and it makes up for last months blank.

Have NS&I announced an increase in the number of prizes following yesterday's rate rise? I haven't seen anything on their website, and last increase they were pretty quick to act.

They did last time so I think it will probably be the same again.

First month back in the draw.

We invested full £100k in June “somewhere safe” after selling property.

Zero winnings!

I’m somewhat surprised as odds are 24500 to 1 to win a prize and with the maximum holding and simple law of averages I’d have expected to win something!

Oh well. Hopefully 8 prizes next month to make up!

You lot are better putting your money in Classic British motorbikes......1950's and 60's...

Great investment AND you can look at them too.........cloud9

Prices going through the roof at the moment.....
Rolex time at the moment. Drop 6 or 7k on a new SS Rolex (admit you’ve got to find one first!) and you get an instant 15%. What’s not to like!?

Last hurrah for me this month, hoping to have a house to spend my PBs on exchange in Sept....if it’s a £0 or low month, it’ll be easy to walk away....if it’s a fruitful month, I’ll pine to get back in!

I think it’ll be easy to walk away.
