    £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!

    Zilch for me on just under £42k. Not a very good run with £75 in last 3 draws.
    Been meaning to take out a chunk for a while but with the odds/prize fund increasing almost monthly I convince myself my luck will change. Plus by the time I think about withdrawing we are half way to the next draw  :|
    Think I would still want to keep in half my stake to give myself a good probability of winning something & treat it as an emergency fund...
