3 x £100 & 2 x £50 on full holding. Very pleased and it’s definitely clear to see the prize fund is ticking up.

Nice to see some decent wind this month. Just £50 for me on FH.

There seem to be a lot more £100 wins being reported.  Crunch time for me will be the April draw.  (At the moment) I can get a guaranteed 4% return on a £20K ISA... the past 12 months of PBs has returned the same £800 on £50K.  I acknowledge that interest rates have gone up in the past year but...time to diversify!

3 x £100.00

1 x £25.00 on FH.

After limping to the 2022 finish line with a 1% return on £50k, I came out of the 2023 blocks with my laces tied together. Luckily Feb and March Draws have got me to £325.

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 🤔

This happened to me, I had less than the total but was blocked from buying buy more as it said it would take me over the max amount. What happened was one of my previous online purchases failed mid-transaction, but the failed amount still got added to my running total behind the scenes. You will probably need to, preferably email them about it to investigate, or call them up.

6 x prizes this month totalling £275 on maximum holding:

1 x £100
2 x £50
3 x £25

That’s the most prizes I have won in a month!

  

Some context from this month's winnings:

£100 from a £5,400 batch purchased in 2015 - 29 prizes won // £950 total winnings
£50 from a £100 batch purchased 2001 - 1st prize won // £50 total winnings
£50 from a £10,500 batch purchased in 2021 - 8 prizes won // £300 total winnings
£25 from a £4,000 batch purchased in 2020 - 8 prizes won // £200 total winnings
£25 from a £500 batch purchased in 1995 - 4 prizes won // £1,100 total winnings - I won £1,000 six months after I bought this batch back in 1995 - highest amount I have ever won
£25 from a £100 batch purchased in 2001 - 5 prizes won // £150 total winnings

Many years ago my dad and I used to track our winnings in a similar manner. We would also reinvest the winnings and create little trees showing the winnings from the subsequent bonds. He had a particular block of £300 worth which were prolific in generating prizes, and the subsequent purchases would also add to it.

I've had miserable luck over the past 5 months, £100, no more than £25 in a month. OH by contrast has had £725 in that time. Both on max holdings.

Thanks for this I did have some failed transactions a few months ago. I will give them a call in the next few days.

Good luck with that and their stupid phone bot. Just keep repeating you need a human and make sure you have something to occupy yourself with for the next 45 mins
