Premium Bond Winner ?

Nothing again on £1,000 holding. Someone with a £120 holding did win 100K so there is hope (sort of).

For someone with a full 50K holding there are two elements of variability going on in the monthly draw ignoring the big wins, the number of prizes won in a month and how much those prizes are.

Chances of n prizes in a month with a 50K holding are as follows. So 68.7% chance of winning 2 or more prizes.

And the chances of a win being a specific amount are shown below. The chances of a win being an above 1K win is too small to be visible but it's 0.05% (or about 1 in every 1,849 wins). Chances are a win is going to be £25, £50 or £100. But again some variability here even based on whether the wins are £25, £50 or £100 prizes.

Agree, between myself & wife, on about £60k combined, we got £50. Rather disappointing as we would have got far more in a savings account. However, I wouldn't even describe that as pitiful. Especially as I won far more earlier in the year. Swings & roundabouts.

Nice to see some decent wins for the forum members this month!

I'm afraid it's another grr 🤬 (=blank) month for me - 2nd in a row, on full holding! So surely, this must be the dip before a BIG one!

Congrats to all the winners!

£50.00 (1 x 25) for me on FH after a zero win last month. I guess a win’s a win! Still celebrating my £1650.00 win a couple of months ago!!

Wondering if the checker is broken in this house to be honest. 2 full holdings, both apparently blank this month, one having been blank last month as well and the other blank in July. And with the prizes having increased as well. Seriously?

Will try the website rather than the app when I dig out the holders numbers.

£150 this month, after having 6 straight blank months, I aint too sad about that, I would have settled for £25 just to stop the run of blanks. Holding £7400
