    I have £13,050 invested. I won £25 this month - first time I have won in eight months.

    Nothing for the last 3 months on 50k. Absolutely pointless.

    Three £25 wins for me this month on circa £26,000. Very happy with that!
    The bigger the bargain, the better I feel.

    I should mention that there's only one of me, don't confuse me with others of the same name.

    £25 this month on max holding. 
    3 x £25 so far this year on max holding - so pretty poor performance for me so far!

    I'm on a roll!
    Since increasing holding to ~£19000 in January, I've had £25, £25, £50 & £75 in the last 4 draws. One of the bonds won in March was drawn out for a £25 prize this month!

    According to the odds checker the chance of you winning £25+ in 3 months if you have £50k holding is 99.8%.  Given the number of people with maximum holding, some people are going to be the unlucky 0.2% who get nothing over 3 months.  However, over 12 months the odds of you getting nothing with maximum holding is 
    1 in 43,251,734,611 - virtually impossible!
