Hi People...Great forum!
Just wondered what your thoughts on Premium Bonds are??
I've had £10k's worth for a year and only won £50
Anyone on here had any decent prizes??
Many thanks

I believe I have £2000 worth of premium bonds since I was 18 (am now 25). I have so far won £50x2 and £1000.
So all in all has been a good investment.This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0 -

http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=Doyouknow;action=display;num=1047132240I have five stars! This doesn't mean that I know anything about any of the things I post. I could be a raving lunatic, or a brilliant genius, or just some guy on the internet. In fact, I could be all three at the same time.
If anything I say makes sense, then do it. If not, don't. Don't blame me or my stars if you do something stupid because I suggested it. I'm responsible for my own stupidity only. You are responsible for yours.
Why, I don't even have five stars anymore! Aren't you glad you aren't responsible for my stupidity?0 -
D'oh...thanks for that
I did a search but didn't come accross that post ::)0 -
It's ok, we're nice to newbies.
When you've been around a while, we'll get brutal.

I'm a newbie too, please be gentle
My parents have the maximum £30k holdings of Premium Bonds and I think they win £50 quite regularly ;D
I used to play the National Lottery, but I never won a
thing, so I don't buy tickets any more.
I am hoping to buy some Premium Bonds soon, and
wait with anticipation :-[
In short, I think they are a good investment.
LeiaI want to be a good saver, but I find it difficult to control my temptation to spend
.
I owe £1,247 more than I have in savings .

Just received £50 through the post this morning from Ernie 8)
I think the odds to win £50 is something like 24,000/ 10 -
I got £100 this morning. Just in time for the bar bill for tomorrow's England game 2012 money saving challenge:
Saved: £16,222
Target: £12,0000 -
Wow! This month's £1 million pound winner owns only £17 worth of Premium Bonds, apparently bought in 1959. There's hope for us all yet. The odds of her winning were 1.4 billion to one. At that rate I should be collecting the jackpot prize on my £2 worth of PBs in, ooo lets see, some time around 2375 AD. ::)0
