Sorry to upset your stats but I'm not as lucky as it appears … full disclosure - I had £35k holding up to the April draw and winnings up to that point were £100 in Jan, £200 in Feb, £25 in Mar and £50 in Apr.

Then £10k holding and subsequent winnings have been £25 in May, £25 in Jun, £150 in Jul, £0 in Aug, £200 in Sep and another £0 in Oct…. although, I've actually had slightly higher winnings since having the lesser amount

It'll be interesting to see how the rest of the year pans out…

Statistics are easily corrected! You've still had above average luck. Only a 17.5% chance of having won at least that much, allowing for the change in holding and change in prize fund rate from January to October

Love all the stats. Can I join in.

Oct won £225....100 + 100 + 25

Almost a fh.

Brings my total from Jan so far to £101,425

Would love some pointers to do a spreadsheet showing what the bonds have won and whether any bonds have won more than once.

It's pretty straightforward to track total winnings on a monthly basis, which is what many posters on this thread do and what you're presumably already doing in order to share an aggregate YTD figure.

Tracking winnings at a bond level involves a bit more effort and entails you downloading the detailed data from your NS&I account…

The odds of winning at least £101,425 on a full holding for the calendar year to date (January to October) is 7,792 to one against!

C-3PO in Star Wars famously said "Sir, the possibility of successfully navigating an asteroid field is approximately 3,720 to 1!". To which Han Solo replied, "Never tell me the odds."

So you've navigated the asteroid field and more.

Love it lol.

Those odds are really good i think, much better than the lottery.

Almost disappointment time again. That came around fast. Hoping for more than another blank again on a full holding this month.

November draw

Someone with a £1 bond purchased in 1971 (overall holding £1!) has won £5,000 this month.

The oldest bond of £10 was purchased in 1960 (overall holding £1,495) has also won £5,000.

Good luck to everyone 😊
