£75 (£25 + £50) on max holding this month. One bond purchased 20 years ago, the other almost 30 years ago. Return this year 1.6%. Not too bad as interest rate was much lower for the first part of the year - but the wins I get seem to have generally gone down as the interest rate has risen!1

£50 x 2, plus £100 on a £45k. holding. (£400 prizes in year to date, which is £25 shy of my prize total for the whole of 2022)Wealth consists not in having great possessions, but in having few wants (Epictetus)1
