    £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.

    Well, someone with a very modest holding (not as modest as yours!) from 1973 won £10,000 yesterday. Probably made their day.
    SNIP

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

    That's a way better return than I was ever getting on my PBs tbf.

    I may have kept them if I'd had similar results.

    1 x £25 on max holding - which is my first win since February, doing badly this year.
    Same with me... but have only had max holding since April of this year

    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 change

    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. :)
