I know it is not a consideration for the many rational financial thinkers on here ( me included to some extent), but many 'ordinary folk' get enjoyment from waiting to see what prizes they may have won each month with PB's, than seeing an annual statement from a savings account.
This is partly why they are so popular, as well as the miniscule chance of winning a big prize of course.

Yes, I consider myself rational but still get a few minutes of excitement each month seeing whether my holding of PBs can beat Mrs L's.  Sadly she wins far more than I do.  The interest is pretty irrelevent but I have got funds to do the heavy lifting - more lucrative but no fun. Plus of course it doesnt use any of the valuable basic rate tax band.

Exactly these two post for me. For me and Mrs Pants PBs are a bit of a laugh, when everything else is sorted.

At this point in the thread I'd love to see the OP invest in PBs, and in their first draw win £10k or so! That would definitely be a mic drop moment.

Not so much a laugh when you don't win though
