    Had my biggest ever Premium Bond win this month, a whopping £200! 2 x £100. That's even after selling £2k a few weeks ago, taking my holding down to £25.5k. 

    Definitely having above average luck so far this year, so can't complain.

    One weird thing is that even after winning £450 so far this year I haven't won a single £25 prize. Not that I'm complaining though, keep the £50 and £100 prizes rolling in...

    £25 each for me and the wife, on full holdings. A bit disappointing.

    If you download the Premium Bonds Checker Plus app (£0.99 subscription per year), it says how far away you were for each prize. One of my bonds was 40 away from a £50,000 prize, so close!!  :'(

    Hopefully there are some more tangible benefits from buying that then....
