  • Thank you all. I need to keep the money available to pay my tax bill next January so the lottery is too big a gamble. Just got an email to advise of a £1 voucher win from my tv survey

    I think you stand more chance of winning when you have bigger blocks of bonds. There is a thread higher up the boards, might be worth taking a look.

    It's a random draw so, like any raffle (which is essentially what it is), the more entries you have, the more chances you have to win - it doesn't matter whether you've got £1000 worth of bonds in one block or 10 blocks of £100, you've still got 1000 separate chances of winning a prize.
    Best win ever: Trip to the Galapagos Islands in 2010
  • Yesterday evening I combined a living social scratch card offer with a tcb bonus. I spent £7 and will get£3.07 back. I won a total of £10 across all the scratch cards so a £6 win for me.

    Also, just did the tcb summer treats thing and have won 20p
