    It’s always too good to be true…..a fact of life!
    It's why you see some people who grumble at winning £25 on a full £50k holding when others win 4 x £25 on a £10k holding (or something similar) - it's the luck of the draw (even if a number of theorists seem to believe that newer bonds have a better chance of winning than older bonds - or other such ideas...)
    The only time I grumble is when I draw a blank on my max holding
    Let's see if you're grumbling tomorrow  :D
    £75 on max holding. Very happy with that.

    NS&I website appears to be on a go-slow

    Just spent nearly 45 minutes on trying to log in (including adding the required two factor stuff) only to fail "due to an error" with the suggestion to "try again later". The site always was busy on results day, but the additional security overlay appears to have sent it over the edge this morning.

    £150 on the max holding, best win I have ever had, only £25 a few times, £50 once and a string of zeros!

    Thanks ChilliBob! Never knew that was there, I've always logged into my account.
    Drumroll please.....Sorry. No luck this time.
    To be expected, I only have £5,000

    3 x £25 on £25k holding 

    won nothing for months and was considering selling them all - but since the rate was increased that’s £100 won in two months 

    sweeeeet!

    3 x £25 on a max holding.... best result of the year.

    Will still be looking to take my money out at some point this year unless NS&I increase their annual prize rate.
