    Well the improved odds paid off for me this month. I was going to pull my investment until they changed the prize structure, and I'm glad i changed my mind.

    After only £50 in total wins in the previous 6 draws (£20k holding) today saw my first ever £100 prize. And my second. 1% return in a month.

    Won't expect that every month of course. I probably should pull it and get a guaranteed 4%, but I can't help but hope for better luck!

    Nothing on max holding :(
  • Today £100+£50 wins from my current PB holding (£39k)

    ... that's more than I got in total from the first 8 months of 2022 with the £50k I held then.

    3 x £50 and 2 x £25 on a max holding, far and away my best month ever and the first time I have had above average luck.

    Welcome news after a poor return on my Premium Bonds of approx 0.7% for 2022.
