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...1 -
£225 this month (1 x £25, 2 x £50, 1 x £100). Let's hope for more wins like this.

1 x £50 for me, 1 x £25 for OH on full holdings. Better than thegoon but a little disappointing.

£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!! :'(0 -
Hopefully there are some more tangible benefits from buying that then....josh33 said: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!! :'(0 -
