Premium bond deposit question.

Hello everyone,
I've had £300 of premium bonds for a couple of months now and I would like to add £200 but if I add this to my current bonds will the total £500 be not included in next month's draw, (due to the full calendar month rule) or will the £300 be included in the draw and the £200 must wait till a full calendar month is over?

    Best to buy them on the last day of the month if possible (if you are buying them online).

    For example this month, get them on the 31st March, need to hold them for for a whole month (April) and they will be eligible for the May draw.
    Never let the perfume of the premium overpower the odour of the risk

    you don't really 'add' them to your current holding: you just buy more
