  • £50 for me
    There is nothing I can be, do or HAVE!!!!!!!!

  • Nothin for me still but I have invested a lump sum that became available of £2000 and will see where this takes me - hopefully I will get some return by the end of next year!
  • I won £50 this month and £50 last month. My first 2 wins!

    I was going to withdraw my holdings if I didn't win in the September draw, so glad I stuck it out.

    Started the year with £2000 investment on 30th Jan (went into March draw), and added another £3000 in time for the July draw. £5000 total holding.

    Dont think I'm going to beat the interest rate I could have got from Bradford+Bingley (5.10% - tax).

    ah well...
  • Well done! I'm hoping that I will get something in the decmeber draw, which is when my £2000 bond will go 'live'. I also get £50 each month by Direct Debit - I suppose I just keep trying to get new bonds! I thought when you bought them by DD they went into the next months draw instead of a full calendar month after you bought them?

    Well done to everyone who won again.

    Nothing for me so far but then I've onnly got £100 of bonds. I brought £900 more yesterday in time for the 2 big draws if I've not won anything by July next year I'm taking it all out & doing somethng else with it instead. I'll have a 4 month old baby then if all goes well :)

    It seems I'll need to win the £1,000,000 to pay for childcare!

    worto.
  • 3x £50 for me. Its the most i've ever won in one month.

    With a baby on the way too i'm about to come aquatinted with that feeling.
  • Won 2 x £50 this month - Whoo-hoo !

    Dont know how many bonds I actually have since I dont want to know the total sum - its my personal mystery pot! Suspect its in the region of £20k+ made up of £10 - £5000 bond denominations of which I add too on a monthly basis. Some £15k of which is stoozed funds...

    See what happens over the next 6 months...

    Good luck everyone! :D

    Your sample size is too small. It consists of your own experience.

    On that basis, someone who won the lottery might argue that most lottery tickets win the lottery.

    Won £50 this month and another £50 in August. Return so far p.a is 1.8% - not too great really but can't be bothered opening another savings account to put it in.
