  • Nothing for me on 34k holding - this is the second month of zilch, although probably what I deserve after my first 7 months of winning each time! 
  • 5th month in a row of nothing with £17k holding... 

    17000 / 34500 = 0.49 to win = 0.51 to not win each month

    0.51^ 5 = 3.4% chance !! 

    !!!!!!. I am cursed.
  • 3 x £25 on 50K
  • £25 on a max holding. At least its better than the last two, both blanks.

    Nothing for me on 50k holding. Wife got 3x £25 on 50k holding, with all 3 bonds coming from a £200 block. This will excite the conspiracy theorists 😂

    There is now a message on the app saying that consecutive numbers have no greater chance of winning. The only way to increase your chances of winning is to buy more bonds.

    My winning run continues. £25 from £39k. My wife had £100 (4 x £25) from the same holding. Her best month so far.

    We're going to buying £40,000 worth in September, so we'll be in the November draw.   

    I've set up a row on my spreadsheet, under the "income" section, titled "winnings"..... I may be being a bit previous, but lets hope I get to fill in some blanks!!!
    How's it going, AKA, Nutwatch? - 12 month spends to date = 2.60% of current retirement "pot" (as at end May 2025)
  • I had 2 x £25 on max holding, making £425 total over the last 12 months and .85% interest.
