Premium Bond Winner ?

Kim_13

£125 on FH, 2.75% 12 month rolling and 4.2% for 2026 so can't complain at the present time. I'd like a single prize bigger than £100 just once though! Got my first £100s in 2016 on a £8,500 holding.

Historically have a pattern of blanks in April so with the rate cut that would increase those chances.

£0 on £7400 holding, April & May have always been my luckiest months(jinxed that now) Adding up the total of the last 3 April's and May's it comes to £2475, so, there you go, that's it now, run finished.

My parents rewarded me with a £1 premium bond for passing for grammar school. That was 60 years ago. That's been my holding ever since. I lost it once and it took many exchanges of correspondence for Ernie to find it. Anyway it was found and I've lost it again since then, my wife might know where it is. I don't think you can buy them in single pounds anymore so I hold it now kind of symbolically, don't ask me why. It's never won me anything and I doubt it ever will. Anyway, thank you mum and dad, and I'm not saying that sarcastically. They didn't have much to go on and I appreciated the gesture, it serves as a reminder of those days. I wonder if anyone here has a single £1 premium bond and whether it's ever won them anything. I hope so.

Yes, a £1 bond from 1970 but it’s not won anything yet.

Also a £5 bond from 1978. Nothing from that either.

Held those £6 of bonds until the mid 1990s then bought £500 of bonds in November 1995, from which I won £1,000.00, 6 months later.

Over 60 years it had 3% chances of winning. So yeah, among 30 people with £1 .. and as there are many in similar situation this happens (£2 has twice as big chances :) ):

£225 on full holding, 6.25% over the year, 1.92% over ten years.

25/26 has been by far the highest total over ten years; the second was 24/25 at 3.40%.

£150(1x£100,1x£50) on full holding.

2.95% return over the last rolling 12 months.

A total of 21 months on full holding, averaging £175 per month.

Months since last blank = 14.

£75 on FH. 21 months on maximum 50K, just reached £2000 in winnings, pretty poor but maybe a big win is round the corner

Just £50 this month on full holding, rather disappointing.
