And someone with £300 holding, from £100 bond value, won 50k! 😲

I may have kept them if I'd had similar results.0 -
Same with me... but have only had max holding since April of this yearChloe_G said:1 x £25 on max holding - which is my first win since February, doing badly this year.0 -
2 x £25 on £47k this month, withdrew the full amount following the draw. Had better than average luck over 18 months with an average of £41,875 invested managed a return of 1.5% (Mainly down to a £500 win last March alongside regular £25 prizes) as the interest rates have crept up elsewhere i thought it was time for a change0

£50 on full holding
I'm very pleased with this0 -
Hi
I have the full holding, the great majority of which I bought in Dec 2021
Out of this I've won
1 x £25 in Feb
3 X £25 in April
2 X £25 in May
3 X £25 in June
So I'm happy with that so far this year.
If I can keep up that average of £50 per month it's not so far behind a savings account, and of course there is always that little chance of a bigger win...I try not to get too stressed out on the forum. I won't argue, i'll just leave a thread if you don't like what I say.

I used to live in Hope as a teenager, a lovely village in the Peak District.uss_tish said:£50 last month, £25 this month on full holdings.
i do have this weird feeling I am going to win big …………. I live in hope 😏
If I get the big win with my premium bonds, I'm planning to move back there !I try not to get too stressed out on the forum. I won't argue, i'll just leave a thread if you don't like what I say.2 -
I was a bit shocked to get four prizes including a £100 one and I have nowhere near the maximum holding.

2 X £25 on £18k holding. Can't complain.
