    Second month after dropping from FH to £15k, and I've won £150. Very happy with that, given that my default expectation is now nothing

    £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.
