    No win on a 20k holding again. 0.12% interest, dreadful.

    It's disappointing to get a month with nothing, especially when everybody's fuel and cost of living bills are rising so rapidly, but nice to see when some  people get reasonable wins.  A least a few people will have a brief smile this morning!

    That's why I'm maxing out my personal savings allowance before I buy premium bond's. They are definitely fun to have, that chance of a million quid. Although it was slightly dispiriting to regularly win 25 quid for 50k holding.

    had  a few £25 s in the first year of a holding of  £10k  but not a bean in the last 15 months. I m pulling out if I don t get something this week and putting it in a fixed 1 year account  or maybe into Chase Bank and going over the £85k protection. They usually let me know by the first 10 days of the month .looks like bye bye Premium Bonds. Just checked the NSI website .The May draw is 4 th May so I will give them the rest of the day .otherwise I m out

    You would have to pay tax on that though,  because your annual interest would take you over the £1000 max limit
