    Someone did well.  According to the major prize list they bought £15K, their only holding, in 2021 and scooped the £1M this month.
    I am also liking the full holding that won £5k on a £2 bond. I am a very small holder and only putting £25 a month in, but it seems that the bigger blocks constantly seem to win more prizes, so when I have enough in there and can get the timings right, I will put £500 in before the month end and withdraw £500 after the draw so that I gradually get bigger blocks. 
    I know that every bond has an equal chance, but I also know that the old £2 bond that I was given in the 1960's has never won anything so its worth a try 
    Credit card debt - NIL
    Home improvement secured loans 30,130/41,000 and 23,156/28,000 End 2027 and 2029
    Mortgage 64,513/100,000 End Nov 2035
    2022 all rolling into new mortgage + extra to finish house. 125,000 End 2036
  • 4 x £50 and 1 x £25 for me and 3 x £25 for other half this month.  Both have full £50k each.   I was considering cashing in now that saving accounts rates are getting better…may still, but for now I am very happy with the premium bonds 😊

    £25 for me on around 43k

    Nothing for OH on 36k.

    I'll have to start withdrawing soon which is sad, but will try to hold out as long as possible (we're moving and we need some cash for moving costs).

    I keep a primitive spreadsheet listing bond numbers and their winnings.  Interesting to note that three of my £25 wins this month were actually on bonds I'd reinvested with previous £25 winners before NS&I stopped you reinvesting your winnings..

    There's a saying somewhere about Big fleas having little fleas...... !  Can't remember exactly how it goes but it's nice to see that such winnings have had their dividends!  I've yet to have the same bond number win more than one prize though!

    £25,000 holding and it looks like nothing for the third month in a row. I assume that but the NSI website says the next draw is today, but all these reports today imply that it's actually been made and that I've missed out again.

    Cell the prize checker app comes out before the emails or the website. That's how I check mine.
