    It,s good reading that some people have had some nice wins.  January is such a dreary month.  Nice surprises do help to brighten it up a little.

    Interesting to read about winnings on PBs especially those of you who have the full holding.  I only have £2800 mostly bought in last 2 years although there are £5 worth bought more than 50 years ago.  I have won £25 x3 in June 2022, Dec 2022 and January 2023 so I think I have done quite well compared to interest rates last year.

    I won £150 this month on a holding of £31500, and a total of £950 since September 2021. I've drip fed into bonds for about 4 years, so I really can't complain on that return.

    Question:

    When I look at the winning bonds, one of the categories is "Bond Value". Does anyone know what this means?

    For example in the Jan winners, the person won £1m, with a holding of £50k, and "Bond Value" of £20k.  What does that mean?
