I've seen a few people saying they can't login since the two factor authentication came in, I had the same problem on Chrome and noticed that if I tried Edge instead I was able to login.

Anyway, I had my first win this month (£25) on a holding of £11,000.  I only held £1,000 from 2018, then doubled in 2019, doubled again in 2021 and have added another £7,000 this year so not really surprised that I hadn't won before.

As an aside I have an old single paper premium bond that I've held since birth, which I can't seem to check as obviously it is not linked to my holder number so can't use the online checker.

https://www.nsandi.com/get-to-know-us/winning-bonds-downloads and then scroll down to unclaimed prizes.  Then you can click the link and see if your bond is listed in there.  Just be careful searching as your paper bond tends to list start and end values and that may not exactly match the search.  It's worth writing off to have the bond added back to your main account.

How many months does one have to earn nothing on a full holding to equal the odds of earning a million?

The MSE calculator has the odds of winning nothing from a full holding over six months (1 in 268,408) as less likely than winning a million from that holding over that period (1 in 146,851) - they don't publish the equivalent for five months but the 'nothing' return would be more likely than the million over that timeframe, so the answer is effectively six....

Hi All,

Started investing in stocks a few years back. too much up and down for me with Covid etc. sold most, kept some long term holdings. Moved a lot to PB. 

Currently holding investing since March £39.2K.

Winnings so far £1775. 

Won £1150 this month and £550 in July. 

Few 25s in between.
