Premium Bond Winner ?

You said when you won that £50 in June this year that it wasn't bad for a £700 holding.  You've also said that you've held £2k for 34 years and bought £50 worth every month for four years (+£2,400-ish I suppose), and also £50/month for two years in a post on a different thread three months prior. None of this adds up to £10k...

Nothing for either myself or OH this month. First time since Feb 2022. Total return for both of us across the year £4175, so 4.175%, an increse on 3.25% in 2023

My wife just one £50 on £100 of PBs.  Pretty cool.

As previously mentioned, bonds purchased in November won’t be eligible until the draw on 2nd January. 

That's what I understood - one of December's high value winners showed purchased "Nov 24" which I thought was strange.

Any prize wins that are automatically re-invested are eligible for the next draw.  I love the stats on these as they are essentially a "win off the back of a win"

£75 on FH.    On a reducing trend, hope it doesn’t continue!

Lady luck is always hard to fathom. I had a £10,000 holding for about 2 years and won £125 in that time. I then reduced it to £5k and won nothing for a year so reduced it to £1k. 

Needless to say I won nowt for 2 years. Then this October I bumped it up to £6k and won £50 this month.

I assumed it was from the new £5k holding, but no, it was on the £1,000 holding that had been there for the whole 5 years.

It is hard to believe that my new luck was nothing to do with increasing my holding from £1k to £6k.

Premium Bonds warning to anyone with less than £20k invested

As my win rate has been virtually zero, except for a single £50 win in March this year, on a 10K holding that I've held for 4 years, I've cashed in all but £1 and decided to get interest on my money rather than nothing

All the best to those who hold PB and I wish you all well with all your winnings

Any prize reinvested back into bonds is eligible in the next draw.  Good for them to win big on the back of a win the month before
