We have had a full 30K holding for a full year now - our first draw was April of last year.
Between April & this months March draw we have won a total of £775 - one £100 prize, one £50 prize & the rest in £25 prizes. Nothing major but one day you never know.
On a 30K holding prizes totalling £775 would mean an interest return of exactly 2.25% net of tax.
A good interest rate really for what is basically an instant access account but i have the feeling that we've been lucky this year & that next year we might only reach half those prizes - just one month alone in 2010 when we won nothing and that was in June.
My wife has decided we're to keep them on for another year.0 -

Hi Have been winning smallish prizes regularly , the biggest was £500 about a year ago. Overall I am just about ahead of the game. Has anybody had problems with the new webite? When I checked my bonds this month it came up that I had won three prizes this month, I went in this morning to arrange for any future prizes to be paid directly to my bank account and the website has changed and the prize checker is telling me I have not won any prizes for the last six months!! Also I am getting warnings from my security that the certificate is not correct for the site and will not let me email them. Anybody else having problems?0

Just been in touch with them and there are technical problems with the website. They hope to have it sorted by tomorrow.0
