    So far this year I've won, on a £27.5k holding:

    January - 1 x £100
    February - Nothing
    March - 2 x £50

    So if my luck stays the same for the rest of the year that will be a return of about 2.9%, equivalent to about 4.83% if I was paying tax on it. Not bad for a (relatively) instant access account.

    Zero for us this month after £5,025 last month, but then we did withdraw everything but a few hundred quid to pay builders so that is hardly surprising. I started rebuilding the balance again last week so will have a bit more in the April draw. The prize fund rate seems decent enough and I enjoy the excitement of checking the prizes each month so PBs are going to be the new home for my income tax fund.

    £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! 
  • £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)

    3 x £100 for me on 42k ish this month
    £25 for OH on around £36k

    Ive not been able to top mine up to full holding the last few weeks so I'm hoping the draw will mean I can do this tomorrow. It keeps saying I'm full but I only have 46k 🤔
