Premium Bond Winner ?

Been in PBs for a while as it seemed to make sense when interest rates were low, (sub 1%), and now when we get a win it seems like a lot compared to what we were getting when the rates were lower. However when you consider that £50k in a current 5% fixed account will get you a guaranteed £166 (20% tax payer), and given the odds of winning "the big one", I think putting the money into savings accounts is starting to seem a better bet.

Well, a good month for prize winnings this month for me - 4 in total (£1,175) on maximum holding.

The £1,000* prize was the last to be revealed and only the second time I’ve won that amount*.  

That makes £1,950 I’ve won so far this year. May was the only month I didn’t win anything.

  


* previous time I won £1,000 was 27 years ago

Nice win Galatica!

My run of luck continues with £200 on circa £47k and £175 for hubby on full holding.

I've now won £1325 since February which is nice.

£325 on max holding, somewhat making up for the pittance thus far this year otherwise.

• May 2023 - £0
• April 2023 - £0

I was going for a World Record 6 months without a win. Sooooo close!

£200 on max holding. Just hope they don't mess up paying into my direct saver which I changed it to last month.

 Nice one Galactica  Just an aside, your avatar reminds me of a recent headline making ITV  person.

Another month where we’re trading off losing 20% to interest by putting it in a regular account, against hoping to get closer to the average return.
