Wow, and I thought I was having bad luck. Hope you get a win soon. At least you are guarrenteed 2.85% for a month while you wait in their Direct Saver

Withdraw half after the next draw, leave £25k in there so you don't miss a month(which could be a winning month), put the £25k back in towards the end of the month. 25000 fresh bonds may be way to go.. That's what I would do.

Good luck the Goon.

£150 for the wife and £100 for me, both on max holdings

Thanks, that sounds like a decent plan. I think I've got to change something.

Good luck, hope it work's out well. I know that if I went 5 months without a win, with max holding, I would feel totally peed off, so I don't blame you…then again, you might win big the next draw and think differently. Either way, good luck.

I ain't had any emails yet to say I have winnings this month, but because of the Bank Holiday, I will give it until Friday before I tick it off as a losing month.

my max holding return since start

May 2023		£100
May 2023		£100
May 2023		£50
May 2023		£25
April 2023		£500
March 2023		£100
February 2023		£50

£925 on 50k in 4 draws

I'm more than happy and somewhat surprised

not sure how to work out the % return

I'm wondering if anybody has ever had a "lucky" bond which has won more than once? I list all my winning numbers on a spreadsheet so have all the winners listed but haven't had one yet!

I have a block of £10k which over the years has seen a couple of fairly near misses.
