    Zilch for us on maximum holding too.  It,s been our one little bit of Lockdown excitement at the beginning of every month checking for results but nothing for past two months here.

    2 x £25 for me this month on £42.750 holding. :smile:
    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.

    Did you know that after each months Premium Bond draw NS&I have a "reserve list" to call upon in case a number(s) drawn in the main draw is not valid for whatever reason ? - me neither !!

    Anecdotally it does seem like people get better than average luck in the first couple of draws. I got £25 in each of my first two draws after investing only £6000 or so (admittedly before the prize pool was cut in December) but have had nothing since then, on a fluctuating balance.

    NB I know there is no basis for that impression and the draw is in fact totally random!

    Yes, this reallocation of prizes from ineligible bonds comes up from time to time, such as https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/5962485/premium-bonds/p1
