    This month £1m winners were a female from the West of Scotland who has £50k of bonds and a female from Barnet who holds £20k of bonds. Fingers crossed for tomorrow for any prize!

    Thanks.  I've alerted my West of Scotland female OH, but sadly she has less than £50k of bonds.  :(

    Good luck everyone for tomorrow 🤞
    Your post encouraged me to look over my bonds. I have a £3k block from April 2019 which won 5 x £25 in 2019, and 1 x £25 in 2020. My next luckiest block is from Aug 2018 with 4 x £25 won in 2018. Any other bonds from other years won bits and pieces (£25s) but certainly not more than average luck.
    Do people record their winning per tax year or calendar year?

    Is that day/month/year or just day/month? I've never heard of that "well-known" statistic.
  • I have £21,386 invested and won the following in 2020;
    Jan £25
    Mar £25
    Apr 2 x £25
    May £25
    Sept 2 x £25
    Oct £25
    Dec 3 x £25 - 2 of the wins were from £25 blocks.

    Good luck everyone for tomorrow 🤞


    Just to add I had roughly £13,000 invested up until Nov 2020 and then upped it to £21,386 after being made redundant. I need to win big before the balance goes down......lol... Over the three years I have had the bonds I have won £175.00 per year.
