1.275% in 2019. 51*£25.

As predicted.

Who needs a "post-doctoral cosmology statistician"

when common-sense will do the job?...:)

I've had my first wins in over 5 years. I had £50 last month and £25 this month. My holding is only £600

Just received my latest email from ernie. Flashing lights, saying well done you've won. Wow! :j I thought this is a dfferent email to the previous ones which advised me to go to the web site to see that I had won £25. So off I went with expectations that were about to be dashed once again . It was just the usual £25 win's. That makes a total of 45 x £25 this year for my wife and I on a max investment. I never hear of anyone winning more than £25 in this forum :cool:.

Someone posted awhile back having won the top prize... Thread was kicking around for awhile, and OP sounded genuine! I guess someone has to win it..!

Second win for me this month - another £25. Only had £3,000 worth of qualifying bonds (added another £5k in October which won't be eligible until next month).

A nice surprise, and more exciting than a regular 1.xx% interest paying savings account.

That should have been eligible for December's draw. Unless they've changed the rules, they only need to hold the money for one full calendar month.

Does anyone know of an excel spreadsheet where you can enter what you pay in and any prizes and it will tell you the interest rate you're getting?

I can tell you the interest rate you're getting: it's exactly 0%, as they don't pay interest

If you're looking to calculate an annual rate of return, your best bet will probably be to use the Excel XIRR function. If you search the forum for this, it'll bring up a number of threads where its use is discussed, such as:

It is such a simple spreadsheet it'd be quicker to write it than have to find and become familiar with someone else's sheet.


Or just do it in your head.
