    There is no rhyme nor reason to it, My wife has won 3 x £25 this month with only a small holding, I have at least 4 times the amount invested as her yet won nowt this month! :(

    As I said in an earlier post - sell some and buy straight back. It does seem to kick-start the system in some way. Just try it and see. You won't win the biggie or large amounts - but you WILL win.........To me thats much better than nothing at all each month, but if you don't believe me - well that's fine - it's not compulsory!

    A similar situation here between my husband and I. We actually have exactly the same amount in premium bonds but he has won much more often than me.

    In June, I changed my request to re-investing any winnings as opposed to having a cheque sent out. I had a theory that I could change my luck. My husband's choice (ie a cheque for the winnings) was unchanged. Sadly, my theory has proved wrong. I have won zilch and he has had £25 each month.

    I am now putting my faith in a big win for me! Fingers crossed.
  • My partner and I both have the max holdings and have both won 3 x £25 this month. Overall we are doing quite well. No a bad place to put your money seeing as the interest rates on savings are poor
