Premium Bond Winner ?

Magnolia

I'm late on parade this month with a £500 win - 4 x £50 and 3 x £100.

That's the best month for me ever on £47k holding.

Husband had £50 on £26k holding.  November will be his last monthly draw so fingers crossed he leaves us with a nice legacy.

I can’t remember the last time I wasted money on lottery tickets or scratch cards, I've a cash bond maturing in a few days, I’m very tempted to get back in to premium bonds.

Evening.  I think I'm first to post again - I always check as I'm heading to bed.

A single £100 prize for me this month on £22k holding.  Running year total now £1300 = 5.9%, so I'm pretty satisfied with that.  It's perhaps a smidge higher return in reality, just over 6%, as I only held £20k for 5 of the 12 months.

That’s an amazing rate! I’m no where near that and have had over £35k for some of the year and almost full holding for a good few months. I think I’m on around £800 for the year. I always say I’m going to take money out if I don’t do well for that draw and then I don’t take it out 😂

Just £25 this month bringing the total winnings, so far this year, to £2,525 (28 prizes) on maximum holding.

£25 on full holding!
I've kept a spreadsheet since the start of 2022 and colour coded each month's winnings Black for about what's expected with average luck, Green for better and Red for worse - currently £100 to 175, £200 or more, and £75 or less respectively. I've never had a single green month, but 5 red months and only £875 in 2023 - it 'should' be about £1,350 for the £25-100 prizes; I don't expect to ever win anything more than £100. 2022 was 10 black and 2 red. Even if I were to win 5 prizes in December I'd still have fewer than last year despite the odds improving, though in 2022 every prize was just £25 and I was still behind the going rate.
Perhaps I should call it a day.
