Premium Bond Winner ?

seren77

I've one premium bond since the year they were issued which has never paid out. Six years ago I started to buy more and I have never gone more than two months without winning - I tend to get £50 a month min -largest win was £500. My total the year before last was £1,200 winnings and in the past five months I've won a total of £500. The winning numbers have invariably come from the same block. I've had a minimum holding of £6,000 and maximum of £22,000 at any one time, but this doesn't seem to have affected my winning capacity. Since I found this site (yesterday) I'm considering cashing them in.

Hi
Over the last 2 and half years a have bought 11950 bonds and took a step to have them all put together as a group.

Last year they won 450 pounds which were all re invested ... february draw saw me lucky enough to get 2 prizes of 50 and 5000.

PB's grouped together or with scattered numbers really does not increase your chance of winning. Furthermore, when you do "group" them together you must sell and reinvest in new PB's. This means you lose the chance of winning for that month.

The above notwithstanding, congrats on the 5k win:beer:

£200 between 2 of us this month. If it could be that every month, I would be happy with that.....

Wouldn't we all - mind I suppose it depends how much you've got in.

am i right in thinking this was a poor month for everyone.

oh well short month feb , and no council tax so all is not lost ....

Not sure about that trademark - the small winnings that I have had in the past always arrive long after the beginning of the month, so I don't give up until the next draw is pulled.

Premium Bonds sound fun!
I'm under 16, so my mum would have to get on my behalf.

Just a few questions;
1. Is the money legally mine? Or my mums?
2. Should I buy a bond of £100 or £200?
3. If I had £100 (or £200!) in bonds, could I add another £100 to it or would it be a new bond?

Thanks!
