    £25 on £23,875 holding for me, making my rolling 12 month equivalent interest rate 0.52%. 
    £125 (5 times £25) on max holding for my missus! I'm well jealous! :)

    2 x £25 on £30k for me. My dad got £500 + £25 on max holding and my mum £25 (also on max).

    2 x £25 on maximum holdings. I've got something every month for the last six months equalling £225. If the next six months goes like that then it'll be okay. Could do with a nice big win though.

    After 3 months of zilch on £40K got my biggest return & most winning bonds 4x£25 since holding.
    Happy with that but overall works out at an average of £25 for each of last 4 months so swings & roundabouts as would be expected.

    Yet a yet another month with nothing since May 2020  :'(
    If you still have a £20k holding then the chances of that happening are hundreds of thousands to one against. It is far more likely that there is a problem with your details. Have you double checked your bond record and the bank/contact details they have on file for you?


    First month with the max for me and my wife. Nothing for me, 2 x £25 for her (and nothing for my daughter on her £200 she has had for a few years!)
    Yep! everything correct and as it should be  :) maybe next month  :D

    Lovely win for your wife though  :)

    £25 on maximum holding.   Keep wondering if any of my bonds will win more than once

    Since I started to invest in PB in 2019 I have kept a spreadsheet of my holdings and winnings - no bonds have won more than once over the 49 records.

    £75 on 50k for me, 1x£50 & 1 x £25, been in 14 draws now and still achieving 1.94%. as its money we’ll need at the end of this year it’s better than it’d achieve elsewhere and a bit of fun at the start of every month.
  • £25 win on 50k .
