    Second blank month on 50k :(

    Bit disheartening to be honest, although you should really treat it as a bit of fun

    Considering moving the lot to a fixed rate account paying 2.1%

    Sure your moneys tied for a year but at least you are guaranteed something every month


    Less a small amount of tax for £50k @ 2.1%?

    Got my 2x£25 prizes on £49.9k :)

    Basically on over £49k you should *expect* two prizes a month (1 in every 24500 of your bonds should win) , and you should *expect* that each one of those prizes will be only £25 (over 98% chance of any given prize being that amount). So my prizes were bang on expectation and if you and Tabatha are losing, means someone else must be winning :)
  • Cashed in £30k December and took out £50k New Bonds, so first elegible draw this month - £100 (4 x £25), which I'm happy with.

    Why did you cash in? You may have missed the January million.

    What? You’re more likely to win if you own an unbroken series of numbers?

    Nothing since July last year on £21k. I must be really unlucky :(


    Wow that is unlucky. I've got about £30K and have had 15 x £25 in the last 6 months.



    I've had 1 more win than my OH who has about £10K more than me. His are large blocks in the main, mine a lot more diverse.
