These are the sort of wins that put a smile on my face,

Nowt for me again, and mine have now been requested for withdrawal - just leaving an odd £90 sitting there as you never know your luck, do you! (And we probably will put more in there at some stage in the future so thought we might as well leave the account open)
Ultimately we've never won more than £25 in a month, and the amount I have just withdrawn will pick up more than that in interest in a savings account for the month or so it's likely to be there before being used for a house purchase!🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡
Balance as at 01/09/23 = £115,000.00 Balance as at 31/12/23 = £112,000.00

Yep, I realise that. I thought the draw had already taken place though (I thought it was first thing on the draw day)? Realistically if not then chances are we'd have nabbed another £25 at most so not the end of the world!Swipe said:

No high value prizes for me this month. I can get £200 per month from the current highest paying 1 year fixed bond on my 50k holding - and that's 20% tax paid aswell. In the two and a half years I've held this holding I've NEVER won £200 in one month - only one time did I win £175. I'll be transferring out my 50k this week to that 1 year fixed bond - then I know for sure that I will end up £2400 richer at the end of 12 months - I wonder just how many 50k Premium Bond holders can be sure of that?0

Premium bonds are not and have never been (or ever advertised as) something that will guarantee a certain return on the amount saved. So it's pretty obvious no one can be sure of winning more than what would be earned in a fixed rate bond (which unlike PBs can't be accessed whenever you want).gussie5555 said:I'll be transferring out my 50k this week to that 1 year fixed bond - then I know for sure that I will end up £2400 richer at the end of 12 months - I wonder just how many 50k Premium Bond holders can be sure of that?1 -

It's never been entirely clear to me at what point early in the month a withdrawal can be safely made without affecting the draw entry. Like you I'd assume a withdrawal today would be ok as the draw should have already taken place.EssexHebridean said:

If withdrawing the month before there is an option to defer until after the next draw. However ticking that box for a withdrawal on the 1st of the month will defer the withdrawal until the following month, even when the draw hasn't actually take place yet.
Does anyone know this for sure or able to find the information on the NS&I website?0
