    £25 on a full holding :(
  • £25 win this month (June) from a batch of £10,500 bonds purchased in November 2021.

    Total winnings this year to date: 11 x £25 = £275.  :)

    Well, someone with a very modest holding (not as modest as yours!) from 1973 won £10,000 yesterday. Probably made their day.
    As to having £50k invested, someone did that last July and won a million this June. There is a god.

    £25 on a maximum holding. Started Premium Bonds at the beginning of the year and every month either nil or £25, so below average luck so far. I will keep them until the end of the year to see if my luck changes, and if not then will look to move my money elsewhere.

    £47K holding purchased December 2021

    This year:

    March - £25
    April - £25
    May - £50
    June - £75

    I hope the upward trend continues :smile:


  • I am getting more in interest on my expunged Premium Bonds atm, than I did while I held them, i.e. more than £50 a month.

    Of course, I miss out on the chance of the higher wins, but never achieved more than £25 pockets in 12 years.
