Nothing, disappointing!!!

3 x £25 in March for the maximum holding. That makes £150 since November 2013.

Bought £15K in September 2012. After the 2 months waiting time, had £25.00 prize every month for 7 months - since then it's been 9 months of nothing since last summer. Very strange.

2 X £25 last month
1 X £25 this month.

Held bonds for 10 years and these are the first ever wins!

£25 for me for a £50 investment made last month , not a bad return .

In order for the average payout to amount (!) to 1.3% AER, lots of people have to go without wins for lots of months. It is a lottery, not a savings account. Still worth a punt for many people in those days of dire interest in savings accounts.

I'm classifying my premium bond allocation as a proxy for gilts. Slightly lower rate of interest but same level of security and no risk of capital loss, though not avoiding inflation risk of course.

3x£25 for me in March.

I'm pleased to see that 'Magnolia' managed a £100 win this month.

At least we now know that prizes of a value over £25 actually exist. I was beginning to wonder.
