    £100 on a full holding, and £50 on £20.4k. Rolling annual return up again slightly at 2.45% and 3.35%.

    We have used all our savings allowances so would be taxed if this was interest, so these equate to returns of 3.1% and 4.2%. Which we could beat….

    I didn't win anything, although tbh, I've only got a handful left. At one pint I held 10k worth of PB and never won a bean for 3 years!  :s:/  Whilst some said, well you should have won something by now, apparently, it's not that unusal:
    Needless to say, I withdrew my 10k and put into a child's ISA where it has been gaining 5% a year since!  That's good enough for me & I'm winning every month with interest - Enough said!

    I've had £10,000 in Premium Bonds for the last 5 draws. In that time I've won £100. A 2.4% annualised return isn't terrible but here's hoping that my luck improves in the next few draws.

    My recent winnings are

    June £25
    July £100

    Total £250

    I think I must have above average luck.  I have about £15k

    I worked out an ISA would have give me ~ £185 over the same period

    For a bit of fun, if you won £1 million what would you do with it.

    I’d  buy a bungalow in Devon with a big flat lawn to play croquet.  I’d like 2 Maine Coons.  For non cat people they are the biggest and hairiest domestic cat. 😺 I’d top up my PBs to the maximum and put some aside so future operations can be done privately.  Replace my Toyota Yaris but don’t know yet what I’d buy.
