Premium Bond Winner ?

ChasingtheWelshdream

Just popped on to say that we had our first ever win, from a £10 premium bond purchased as a christening gift for my DH back in 1973! Other than updating contact details when we've moved house, it has rarely crossed our minds.

£100 cheque appeared in the post. :-)

The question of whether anyone ever wins big sometimes crops up on here, so perhaps worth noting that there's a separate thread started recently by a poster who won £100K:

On a full 50K holding these are the chances of winning at least these specific amounts

If you won £150 then you've had average luck, as 49.3% of those with 50K will have won £150 or more this month.

The mean monthly win amount on full holding is a higher £182 because of the high prize skew.

If you've won £850 or more this month then you have been really lucky as only 1% of those with a full holding will have won £850 or more.

And if you've won nothing on a full 50K then that's unlucky, only a 9.25% chance of that happening in any month.

Nothing again for me on a £1,000 holding. There were a few 10K winners on a £1,000 holding this month including in my area but sadly wasn't me.

Blankety blank on a full holding again. Just £700 or 1.4% returned since January 1st 🤬
