Premium Bonds Prizes?

Just interested in how many prizes people seem to receive with a full £50k worth of premium bonds? I know it's gonna vary but would be interesting to get some feedback on if it's worth it?

    There's a great thread here on that very subject
    Nearly 1,000 pages, knock yourself out
    This may also be of interest

    The number of prizes is only one thing. Of course it matters if the prizes are £25/£50/£100/£500 etc ( or even more if you are very lucky) 
    So normally with average luck you would expect to get around £1,900 pa .with £50K of PB's. It could be more or less though.

    I have 2500 invested in Premium bonds, I have won £175 since March - but, I have not received any money. They say they have been paid into my bank. I have had to send all statement to them to check now. I can see on my statements when I paid them for the bonds, so bank account is correct
