    This thread should become a lot quieter then with all these people cashing their holdings in.  Although seems some people like to still come on here and offer their advice 
    It won`t be quite from tomorrow when we have the monthly.

    " I won X amount on X amount holding".

    and "Nothing this month on X amount holding".
    You say that as if it's wrong for people to report their winnings but the original post was asking for exactly that;
    "im interested in winning premium bond holders , or not as the case may be , please post your winnings and holding..."

    2 x £50 on a full holding for me. I've still never had a month over £125 and only ever one £100 prize - I "should" have already had four this year. 1.6% apr for 2023. Surely my luck must change eventually.

    Best result ever for me, £250 on full holding 
  • Just £25 this month   ;)
    You do like volatility ;)! My volatility isn't quite so high - £125 this month vs £850 last month.
    Indeed! Swings and roundabouts with Ernie at the moment ;)

    This month's £25 winnings from a £10,500 batch purchased late 2021 - with 9 prizes won, £325 total winnings so far.

    I'm guessing NS&I announced the prize rate increase on Friday last week before even the July draw had taken place to help stem any withdrawals that might take place this week. I also noticed from their press release:

    At the very end of the financial year, following uncertainty in the US banking sector, NS&I unexpectedly received a number of high-value deposits which took it over the upper end of the target range. In the opening months of 2023-24, NS&I saw deposits return to more normal levels.

    £0 for me this month on approx. £39.5K holiding. Seems like Ernie doesn't give birthday presents. Can't really complain too much since I did get the £500 last month. Total still £775 for 7 draws of this year so far.
    Save £12,000 in 2024: £17,500 out of £12,000.
    Save £12,000 in 2025: £0 out of £12,000.
