    I bought £25 worth of PBs between 1982 and 1984.
    I have only ever had one win of £50 and it took 12 years to win.

    DD has £200 worth and has never won a thing.

    We have a syndicate at work where 10 of us put in £15 per monthy. Been going a few (very few) years and we've had around £250 all in winnings. Still hoping for the big retirement win...

    Makes more sense than the lottery though. At least we can always get something back at the end.

  • I have £72 worth of premium bonds and have won £75 in all the time I have had them, so I suppose I have had more than I have got, but it would be nice to gain a little more if possible! Ernie, if you are there!!!!

    Sort of Investment bonds.
    Minimum purchase is £100 {each valued @ £1} to a maximum holding of £30,000.
    Draws are held every month. Top prize is 2 x £1million. Other prizes range from around a million at £50 to four at £100,000.
    As well as you holding the value of bonds as purchased, you get an individual holders number, so goto http://www.nsandi.com/products/pb/haveYouWon.jsp to check.
    Top prizes are usually posted on site within two Working days, and the rest 5 ish working days.

    Unlike a lottery, you can cash them in.

    Chances of winning ? INVESTORS in Premium Bonds will have less chance of winning the big prizes after June 1 when the prize fund rate drops from 3% to 2.95%.
