3 x £25 on a £30,100 holding so now have £30,175 going into next month’s draw as all my prizes are automatically reinvested.

Won £125 on around £20k holding over past year.

That equates to an AER of some 0.63%. Would you be happy having £20K sitting in a savings account that pays so little interest? I appreciate you might like gambling for the monthly PB million (I do it myself) so your answer might be yes. Just curious.

Don't forget about tax.

PB prizes aren't taxable. So for a higher rate tax payer 0.6% could be considered okay.

Luck is unpredictable

2 x £25 and 1 x £500 on 30k after a couple of blank months. Can’t complain.

I bought £6000 of bonds last year. 20 draws later I haven’t won a thing. Anybody else this unlucky?

21 draws now and still unlucky. I make it about 0.8% chance by my calculations so it’s there or thereabouts.

Total winnings of £200 in 9 months since purchase - might as well burn fivers to keep warm instead!
