Premium Bond Winner ?

VKE

We both have £50k in PB's and our last 7 draws have been:
Nov: Mr £50 / Mrs £50
Dec: Mr £25 / Mrs £25
Jan: Mr £0 / Mrs £0
Feb: Mr £0 / Mrs £50
Mar: Mr £75 / Mrs £25
Apr: Mr £50 / Mrs £50
May: Mr £0 / Mrs £0
= £400 / 0.40%
For the timebeing we'll keep the PB's and see what interest rates come up in the coming weeks and I think there will be more 'positive' movement

It seems I should consider myself lucky with a total of £450 in a five month period. 

Yep - that's what you'd expect to win from £50k over a year with average luck (0.9%).

Probably  means more people will be tempted to buy so won,t necessarily mean bigger returns for existing holders.

Prizes are a percentage of the prize fund, so more prizes will be given out. This equates to almost 1.4 million more £25 prizes being awarded, for example.

Well it will be interesting to see if more winners post on here next month,  not that this forum is necessarily a true  picture of the national scene.
