Premium Bond Winner ?

£50 for me this month.

December 2006: £0
January 2007: £0
February: £500 + £50
March: £100 + £100
April: £100 + £50 + £50
May: £50
June: £0
July: £0
August: £0
September: £0
October: £0
November: £0
December: £0
January 2008: £50

So the % return in the first year (full holding) was 3.333% - or in other words it cost me £500 to play (standard rate tax payer).

Well, I'm flabberghasted. I have a modest holding of about £1440 (bought recently in dribs and drabs) and I've just had my 4th £50 win (all over the last year). It seems I've got a tax free rate of return of about 14% at the moment. Makes me chuckle seeing as I hardly have a big investment!

Won £50 in December 2007 (first and only win so far)
