    Nothing for me. Now that I only have £100 left in PB it's hardly surprising  :D

    £450 on the maximum for me and £100 on the maximum for my wife 🎉

    She grumbled slightly, but can't complain as she won £10K in May!

    After winning nothing last month I won 1 prize of £100 this month.

    My average holding this year has been £26,250. In these 9 prize draws I have won £750. So that's a return of 3.81%. More or less in line with the advertised return, so my prizes haven't been as erratic as some people on this thread. 

    While it's always nice to win more, in order to make better returns in tax paying accounts I would have to earn more than 6.35% in interest. So looks like Premium Bonds have served me well so far this year.
  • £225 for me and £100 for the wife. Both on max holdings

    £200 on full holding. Nice surprise as previously nowhere near expected return for most months this year  - as the prize rate went up my winnings went down! This month’s winning bonds all purchased in the late nineties in small blocks. Nothing on the relatively more recent larger blocks.

    Prior to the last 2-3 months I was getting anywhere from 0 to 75 and underperforming average on max

    In July I got £200, august £450 and this month £600. Each month new record, heres hoping it continues!

    Hard to complain as high rate tax payer, going well recently!
