Scroll up a bit, lazy sod....

[rufusgti]

2x £25 on 22k

Happy as I have had two blank months. Hopefully the start of a good year. (Although most is coming out in April)

[Prolex-UK]

£25 on 50k for me nothing for Mrs prolex on £50k ...3 months winless for her. Not happy

[CallMeLegend]

Nothing for years on what is now £20k, then December £25 & Jan 2 x £25

[journeymanpro]

£25 on £10.5k this month

[W99KSY]

Nothing on 50k for me

[condor]

2 x £25 for me on £30K

[crmcatee]

£2 x 25 which makes my rolling 12 month total 0.95%.


I noticed on the high value winners that someone bought £5 worth in 1966.(£78 worth today). Their total holding was £1621 and they've just won £5000. Nice start to the year.

Interesting to note that if you bought bonds between 1966 and 1995 you're not in the high winners this month. Seems a rather large gap.

[carreauchompeur]

£25 again. Happy with that, ticking over nicely!

[Sochaux]

3 x £25 on £22,000.

[stevensdrs]

£25 on 50k. Not enough but better than the last 2 Januarys which were blanks.

[EarlOfHazard]

£100 this month (on 50k)

That totals £550 for the previous 6 months

Probably go straight into the Unclaimed Prizes fund I imagine

2 x £25 for me on £50k.

[Tabs]

6 x £25 on a joint £90k holding.

[2fast748]

Nowt on the family £2.6K

[princeperch]

I've got 6k of bonds at the moment

I'll need to park 50 grand for 13 months shortly.

I can get 825 quid in interest with ford finances' bond over 12 months if I park the cash there.

If I bunged it in premium bonds, let's be honest, I am unlikely to get the equivalent to 70 quid each and every month (averaged out) over a year in prizes am I?

[N111BJG]

Miserable £25 this month.
Last six months = £300 on £50k

My Premium Bond results with 50k invested are:
2019 : £475
2018 : £825
2017 : £550
2016 : £525

So you probably wont match £825, but you might, or you might exceed it by a long way. For the sake of a couple of hundred pounds of interest, to me its worth a gamble.
