Premium Bond Winner ?

davieba

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?

Thanks, I thought so.

Then the category bond Value does not really add much information does it? I could buy ten batches of £2k and one of them will have a winning ticket and the Bond Value is £2k, but that doesn't really offer any interesting information that I can think of?

Yes, the bond value information isn't of interest to me either, but some people like to follow the relative success of each of their batches (not that this needs its publication in the winners list) and others use it to fuel suspicions that larger blocks are more or less lucky than multiple smaller ones.  The location data also adds little actual analytical value really, especially given its unintuitive and apparently inconsistent structure (although there is underlying logic to it).

But the location data helps when you want to check the high value winners list looking for your own win.

£300 this month on maximum holding. Best return on a month for sometime. Have held PBs for about 5 years. Return of 1.20% for 2022 and content to hold them for the time being.

I have around £17,500. In the last three months of 2022, I won a total of £300. However I'm looking at moving some of this out, into other investments.

We have £50k each and have been innit to win it since August

my OH who reckons she is unlucky as won £1150 in 5 draws including a £500 one month

i have had £775 in the same time so together a healthy return tax free 

one to monitor if returns drop but for the moment great to date and love the buzz of checking what we have won. To date only one blank month for me and that was the first draw

£200 (1 x 100, 1 x 50, 2 x 25) on full holding.
First time I’ve ever won more than £50 as an individual prize.
