    Anyway, the elephant in the PB room is inflation. If people are prepared to invest £50k in premium bonds with a 1% yield, aren’t they locking in a guaranteed real loss?
    People aren't 'investing' in Premium Bonds, though. Many here are using them as an alternative to a savings account because there's a chance that the prizes will amount to more than the typical easy-access savings account will pay in interest. That's certainly been the case for me.

    Hi,
    if you sign in to your NS&I account it will show if you have won this month, view account and you will get holders number.
  • Nothing this month breaks a 12 month winning streak :(  1.5 % for the year on full holding.
  • The 2 winners of this months 1m prizes bought their bonds in Jan and Feb this year! Having said that one winner stuck 50k in and won, how jammy is that!

    2 winners in the last two months have either lived in my county or neighbouring county hoping it's me with the hatrick next month :-)
