My wife bought 1 block of £25k in 2021.  Her winning rate is 1.45%

I bought 25 blocks of £1000 over a 25 month period.......

Guess who has the higher return rate.

£150 for me (25, 25 & 100) on approx £39.5K. I'm happy enough with that this month and certainly much better than July's blank.

Jan £0, Feb £150, Mar £75, Apr £25, May £0, Jun £525, Jul £0, Aug £150.

Total so far this year £925, I'm around the average expected return, Would be very poor without June's £500.

Would that be you?
Most would say it makes no difference, but I'd rather buy bonds the way you did.

You, because you have the most newer bonds.

I only won £100 this month.  £32K holding. Let the streak continue and hope it's a bigger prize next month.

btw, I thought they always reveal the prize on the 4th of the month, how comes it's already out with it being the 2nd?  Not complaing. Just wondering.

The high value results are released on the 1st working day of the month, the remaining results are released on the 2nd working day of the month.

What's your secret? In all those seven months you've only had one worse than my best month. My wins this year have been 50,  0, 100, 125, 50, 50, 100 and 75. Still only one £100 prize ever, though I 'should' win nine a year now, and £125 is my best ever month though that is now below par, even ignoring prizes of £500+. I keep telling myself my luck will change but I'm beginning to doubt it.

Does it matter - it's an 18 year old thread and the OP hasn't been here for over 10 years. I think it's fabulous that it's still going.

If people don't like the direction it has taken, they're perfectly welcome to just ignore it, same as I do with the many threads I know nothing about.

Agreed. I enjoy checking up on this thread at the start of a month once the results are in. I confess to experiencing a slight feeling of smugness when I win £25 on my £6,000 holding, as I did this month, and then read that people with much larger holdings have not won anything…
