    £200 on max, about time after quite a few £25’s and £50’s in succession. Until now the only thing the increase in prizes had done was to reduce the frequency of blanks. 

    Consistently having worse luck than someone I recommended PB’s to, though 🤦‍♀️

    I won £25 on a block of £250 this year, and on a £25 reinvested prize, but a ~£2,500 block has won nothing in about a year of holding it. I know which bonds will be first out should I decide to do that. I’d probably take the smaller amounts as well as they’ve likely had their allocation of luck.

    A very respectable £350 on full holding this month. Quite a relief as until now the increases in prize rates had passed me by. Best month for many years. Return this year still only around 2% though. Hoping this month is a sign things are on the up🙂 (yes, I do know it’s random😉).
  • £275 on £62k holding this month (split between me and wife).

    Up to £2,400 for the 23/24 financial year so far off an average holding over that time of £55k, so a win rate of 7.47% for the seven months to date if my maths are correct.

    Our 22/23 win rate was 2.04% (which was in and around the average prize rate at the time), so definitely seeing the impact of the increased in prize rate by NS&I in this year's numbers so far.

    £100 for me on circa £47k
    £225 for OH on full holding.

    I've had a couple of quieter months but definitely was due. Fingers crossed for a good win in December.

    Very bad month for me. £25 on just over £41K, would of been nothing had I not put in the £1000 back in September since one of those bonds won the £25. As they say better than nothing but disappointing to say the least.

    Hopefully December's draw and the final draw of the year changes that.
