Premium Bond Winner ?

And say the individual who holds the PB is a 40% tax payer.  Then that 6% figure very quickly moves back towards the average luck yield a holder would have anyway.

Factor in too that there are people with significant savings - for example from pension lump sums, inheritance or a house sale - who need to spread this about to ensure they have FSCS cover. Once you’ve used up your ISA allowance and taken advantage of the more competitive interest rates from the banks you’ve actually heard of, PBs become the logical next choice.

I read once that the luckiest bond has won 4 times.

I,m wondering if anybody on here has had the same premium bond winning twice . A pretty unlikely possibility I would suspect.  In view of the randomness of thwt happening, perhaps any such winner should qualify for a bonus prize!   I have a block of £10k and have had one or two relatively near misses, over the years, within 100 digits of each other.

I have two bonds that have won two prizes. It's a big spreadsheet.

Silly question,  but is that easy to check?
I don't think I've ever noticed which single bond has won a prize on any confirmation email or taken a note down from the website.
Let alone filed them for years and years?

Surprisingly it happens every month.

Hadn’t previously checked but in my bank I have 2 x £100 on max.

I can’t believe how many people don’t check them. It’s all part of the excitement checking the app to see how many prizes you have or haven’t won.

wowow

It's exciting to check the app.
It's exciting to find the money in your account. 
It's exciting to get the email. 
It's exciting to check just before midnight.
It's exciting,  or not...

Ditto! Won on average £200/month for most of 2023 thus far, but nothing this month.

Is it not as exciting checking your online banking 🤷🏻‍♂️
