Had £1K for a while and won nothing. Just increased to £12K each for both my wife and I and won £100 between us straightaway, including a £50 win. Looking at previous posts will be expecting some lean months, however, already more than I would have got from the 0.25% in my Nationwide loyalty ISA for the next year so happy with that.

£25 this month on 6k holding. That is the 4th £25 win this year! Is that good?

Yes, that's good. Each bond has a 24,500 to 1 chance of winning, so with a £6000 investment you'd expect maybe 3 x £25 prizes a year. So even if you don't win another penny this year you've still been luckier than most.

Beyond the luck element mentioned by Girl_Overboard, that's £100 'interest' on £6000 - an effective interest rate of 1.67% for 2020 already. So you have secured a better return on your money in 2020 than virtually all regular bank saving accounts offer (vast majority offer <1% interest). Still got 6 months to go as well, good luck!

Nothing again on the full 50k. Only one £25 win in the last five months. Pathetic.

You're very unlucky - 1 in 2400 chance of this.
