    Looks like they are giving away more prizes to tempt new investors/more money.

    Yep, they are indeed. There is a thread on this already: http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=260882

  • Premium Bonds - what a complete waste of time!

    £24000 in premium bonds and what have i won so far this year- just £200 quid!

    with this amount invested - what happend to the theory that i should win at least £50 each month for 9 months of the year?

    Thinking of pulling the money out and extending the house - im sure this will generate a better return when it comes to sell or rent out!

    Well you've had pretty bad luck!

    I've just bought another £200 worth, so hoping for a decent win with new bonds. I know the NS&I website disputes the myths about new bonds winning more than old ones, but my current holding hasn't produced any wins for over three years.

  • I've just heard from my niece. I bought her £100 worth of PB as a Christening present 2 years ago. She has just won £50.:j So far thats a pretty damned good return. Long may it continue :rotfl:

    Big Winners List for October is now online:

    good luck all
  • The £25,000 winner won 193 times their holding and two other winners of £10,000 and £5,000 mutiplied their holdings by 100.

    The two new millionaires multipled their stakes by just 46 and 33.

    Of the five mentioned above, I wonder which one will get most benefit from their windfalls.

    Unlucky again this month, however I've just invested another £200 in the hope of winning one of the five £1m prizes in December. You never know, the myth about new bonds not winning more prizes may not be a myth at all! :D
