£1500 over 12 months, £1375 YTD. Average balance over that time around £32k - although in a range between £24k and FH at different times.
Return over a rolling 3 year period around 14%, but inflated by big prizes. Ignoring them gives a figure around 4.7%. Beats my best available EA savings rate, so not complaining.

Bad month for us; £75 for me and nowt for the wife - both on full holdings. Drops us back below 3% this calendar year on our £100k ……sob,sob….

£100 on FH. I won £300 last month and I’m very happy with £100 this month. I’ve had a couple of nil returns this year but should end up just over £1,000 for the year (always hoping for a giant December win).

July: £50
August: £50
September: £100
October: £200 (£100, £50, £50)

Another blank month for me on full holding - a third one on this 2nd half of the year. Grrrr! 🤬
Better luck for OH who got £200 on almost a full holding.
Congrats to everyone who's won something!!!

That's not correct, if it were, that bond number would have won a prize almost every other month. I googled the same question and the answer was 408 prizes won by one bond holder, not one bond number. ;)
My app tracks bond draws since 2011, and in that time, there are 2 individual bond numbers that have won 4 times.
£100 on FH, 3.76% rolling interest.

£175 for me this month on FH
Year to date is £3800, rolling 12 months is £3900 and total since my first draw in May 2025 is £5900. I've (touch wood) never had a blank month and have had 2 months where the total was over £1k - one last year and one this year. All draws have been on FH.
2026:
Nov - £175
Oct - £225
Sept - £275
Aug - £25
July - £200
June - £225
May - £125
Apr - £150
Mar - £700 (including one prize of £500)
Feb - £350
Jan - £1350 (including one prize of £1000)
^^ Think it's fair to say I've been extremely lucky!
