Either my father is very unlucky or its not worth it.

30k invested in PB, no winner since March!!!

Nothing

April
May
June
July - not sure if they are out yet.


From the PB calc

The Key Result

Sorry you are unlucky! 88.1% of people who have put £30,000 in premium bonds over 6 months win more than £100.

£25 for August

My first win after 3 draws, 1st and 2nd holding £5000, 3rd holding £7500.

Next month I'll have £15,000 in the draw so fingers crossed!

So according to the article the lower prize pay out is because holders have asked for more frequent winnings? Funny that, as I thought it was due to the lower interest rates and the fact that NS&I don't get anywhere near what they used to get from saving our money!

It's just a coincidence then that this decision comes just when there is a recession and interest rates are down!!!

I wonder if the total number of prizes have increased?

Anyway, I look at the list of winners on the NS&I website each month, just out of curiosity.

Every month there is at least one person who wins big on a total holding of £100.
This month, one person from suffolk has won £10,000 on a £1 bond and a total holding of £6 bought in 1970.

So with my calculation I may win something similarly large in 2050! yipeeeee

the price rate dropped to 1:36000 but but went back to 1:24000 so a full holding should still win on average more than 1 a month

I just told my collegue that someone won £10,000 on a £1 bond, he is from suffolk and has a bond, given to him on his 1st birthday, he was born Sept 1969.

He doesnt know his bond number so I await baited breath.
