Worst it's been for a while but better than nothing.

[CallMeLegend]

Nothing on £50k, really disappointing at the moment

[The Mad Monk]

£25

[stevensdrs]

First blank for a while.

[crmcatee]

£25. Rolling 12 months interest 0.9%. Still better than some banks are offering.

[Dave.]

£75 between us on £100k

MiL won £25 on £300!

[BoRED S2upid]

£50 for me £100 for MRS BS2 so not bad.

[Spidersleg]

£150 on my £50k
Mrs £0 on £26k
Boy £25 on £25k

My £50k constantly out performs Mrs and boy combined, even though theirs combined is £51k

premium bonds were on martin lewis show recently with him saying more you put in better chances winning, seems to be true from posts
I have only put in £500 so unsurprisingly no winners lol

[2fast748]

Nowt on the family £2.6K

[Cheeese]

Nothing on 10k since August.

Withdrawn!

[princeperch]

Nothing for me on 8k so I've withdrawn the lot and it's going into the mortgage next week. I was going to buy 50ks worth of bonds in a couple of weeks but I don't think I'll bother now and I'll put it in ford money's one year bond and get 825 quid in guaranteed interest instead.

Pbs are useful however if you have a lot of cash to squirrel away as the winnings are tax free etc but I hear of so many people not winning these days that I don't think I'll be bothering with them again unless I've built up a lot of savings and investments elsewhere.

[funbobby]

i have 2 bonds one for 10k with never wins anything and i mean anything and 20k on another which is gets around £50 a month without fail, its very odd!

[N111BJG]

Miserly £50 this month.
Last six months = £325 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.

If I have crunched the numbers correctly, in percentage terms that works out at:

2019: 0.95%
2018: 1.65%
2017: 1.10%
2016: 1.05%

Not a great return really.
