    Well I hope we are all lucky this month! 
    At the risk of perhaps taking a throwaway comment too literally, PB holders can't all be lucky in any month!  The fundamental principle of a random draw is that many will achieve an 'average luck' return, but plenty won't (and plenty will achieve more) - everyone with a maximum holding has just over 10% chance of winning nothing in any given month, and obviously that chance increases for smaller holdings....

    I think it was probably meant for people on this thread, not all holders of Premium Bonds. ;)
    Anyway, I wish me luck!

    Exactly.  As I wrote it I thought, someone’s going to “bite” and comment about this and they did. 😂 No, no, I want all the luck. £100k will do nicely 👍🏻 

    I'm not bothered about getting a big prize,  50000 £25 prizes will do nicely :)
    That would be incredible! 😂

    Prizes are in on the web site, but not showing in the app yet.

    1 x £100 and 1 x £50 on £22k.  After a good run, I was truly expecting nothing this month.  I'm now running at 5.11% on a rolling 12 months.

    Good luck everyone.

    Where are you seeing your prizes? Both the App and the website are not showing August's results for me.
    Chuck Norris can kill two stones with one birdThe only time Chuck Norris was wrong was when he thought he had made a mistakeChuck Norris puts the "laughter" in "manslaughter".I've started running again, after several injuries had forced me to stop

    Often at this point they are, but they haven't updated the word "July". Does the number you get equal your July prize or not?

    I'm just getting "something's gone wrong" error messages when I try and check the app.

    Google “premium bond prize checker” and put your holders number in.
    It will say last month but the total will be this months prizes.

    1 X £100 for me this month, after nothing at all last month. 

    I'm down to £30k now.

    Well I got £100 which I think is better than nothing obviously but not good on £50k (along with the last few months poor performance) so I’ll be taking a good chunk out to put in an ISA and maybe add more to my savings.

    I got £0 with a £40k holding. Last month it was £25 and the month before it was £0. Amazing!
