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

[CinnamonFan]

£0 on £75 for me.

I left it in for the past 18months. No prizes unsurprisingly.

Have transferred my £11k emergency fund in that was sitting in an old ISA paying 1%.

April will be the next draw its all counted for.

Nothing for me for the 2nd month on £4.5k oh well back to dreaming again

Took me about 10 minutes of faffing about to get logged in to NS&I. Total of £200 on £50k for March, decent enough!

Nice. For info, you can use the prize checker without logging in if you know your holder's number

Correct - either direct to your nominated bank account or by cheque although they did try to stop this.

Thanks mate

£0 in Feb 2023 on £30k
£25 in Mar 2023 on £40k

[nammynake]

Nothing for me on £20k. Wife won £100 - not bad after she won £5k last month!

[hungry_hog]

Crummy

Mum 100 on 50k
Me zero on 20k

Pulling 10k out I think dreadful returns last 6 months

[LastPoster]

£25 on full allocation this month, I am disappoint after last months £75

Last draw with the full amount next month, plan was always to switch 20k to an ISA in April. Only really went for PBs as ISA allocation used and at risk of income tax on savings interest

[rigga]

£50 this month, after nowt last month, I'll take that.

[six port]

£25 on 10k I’ll take that after £200 last month.

Nearly as much as I got with full allocation last year.

[Waitforme]

First year we won £950 on £100k holding. Just under the 1%.

2nd year is going like this …

April … £100
May ….£25
June …£125
July ….£125
Aug ….£75
Sept …£75
Oct ….£275
Nov … £325
Dec … £75 …. Poor month
Jan ….£25 ….. Poor month
Feb …£200
Mar …£325

Better month this month but £40k will be getting withdrawn this month to go into two cash Isas, then a further £40k in April for another two cash Isas.

Edited to add…. I wonder if I can leave the full amount in for next month’s draw then withdraw £40k to put into Isas before the 6th , hmmm ….

I would think you could except that April 1st is a Saturday so you might run into trouble with banking delays

Also the Prize checker says next results on 4th April so does that mean the draw is not completed until Monday if the first is on a weekend

My god, £500 on £30k. I think this one month is more than I've won in total over the last two years. I need a sit down.

[Legacywr]

Very good month for me, as you can see.

2.5% on 50k

[ChocolateFrog]

Wow, that's great.

£25 on £650 for one of the kids today.

[7 5 7]

Moved a few 1,000 out recently, doing nowt for me in the PB's, but still keep my hand in, you never know.

Going to make use of some of these high interest easy access accounts for a bit, bit more of a guarantee every month at the moment.

[bigandclever]

£50 and £25 on £40k this month.

[Dicky Knee]

Mrs Knee and I have had £250 each since 2013.

Nothing in 10 years.

[Square Leg]

Took £8k out last week, today won £75 from £17k balance.

Appreciate everyone's situation is different, but I only put in 25£ a month. I think of it as buying a lottery ticket that I can get back should I need it.

My emergency fund is currently with Marcus, where I put around 10% of my next salary in a month.

If I hadn't maxed out my S&S ISA and pension contributions, the last place I'd put my money is premium bonds.
