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

[BoRED S2upid]

A relative who’s into statistics mentioned over the years he’s had premium bonds ( a lot of years) he’s won 400 prizes totalling £20,000. This year he’s running at 3% so stick with it guys 😉

£75 for me this month, reasonably pleased.

A late Email from NS&I - 2 X £25 win.

Don't wait for the emails; they're always late. Use the APP.

£500 this year for me, £800 for the missus...

Her's is nearly full, I'm almost £10k short.

Can't complain overall I suppose.

[RammyMP]

My kids have got about £10k between them, one won £25 last month, the other 2 x £25 this month. It’s rare that neither of them get a £25 win.

That sounds fairly lucky - missus and I have £60K between us. Didn't win anything this month and that's happened several times this year.

Alternatively - someone has held £20 from 1990.

Tomorrow they get £25,000.

Wonder if he/she/it will notice the result? Could even be no longer with us...

1300 quid on nearly 90k in? Almost smack on the forecast 1.4% then and a chance of a big win so not bad really and safe as houses.

Yeah, just waiting for that big win.

[EarlOfHazard]

Have have had 50k in since July. Over 6 draws my wins have been as follows.
July £25
Aug £25
Sept £25
Oct £25
Nov £0
Dec £25

If this is the takings forecast for the next 6 months, then I'll have won £250 over a year, making my prize money '0.5%'. I did expect more, to be honest.
Still, gonna leave it there as I might need quick access due to house purchase(oh sorry this is PH, I meant coke and hooker sesh )

No chance. The BIG prizes take so much of the 1.3% "pot" that what's left for everybody else is pretty meagre.

It makes more sense to put you cash on deposit at a higher rate (1.5% with Virgin or Marcus) and buy an occasional lottery ticket.

Thanks, but I would only use it once a month just to see if I had won or not, a late Email is good enough.

I am averaging 1.2% over the last three years - pretty happy with that given the low rates available elsewhere.

Not that a cheque for £1m wouldn't be useful.

Take off Dec '17 as that's 13 months. Makes an exact 0.5% return.
