    1 x £100 and 1 x £25 on a 32k holding.
  • Is premium bond a big scam from the government? Has anyone met someone that has win big even 100k. I have 75k between myself and child and not doing well. I will withdraw my money.

    Typical 1st post.
    Presumably you mean all governments then.
    I’ve never met anyone who’s won 100k on the lottery either.

    After a couple of disappointing months I managed to nab myself 3 prizes of £100 each this month. Not bad for a £23k holding. 

    My average holding for this calendar year has been £26,040 and I have won £1,100 in the last 11 months. So an annualised return of 4.6% so far this year. Here's hoping a bumper December brings that average up.

    £100 on max holding
  • £50 for other half on max 50k, I withdrew all but 1k of my 50k 2 months ago, and was surprised to have a £50 win  😊.  Other half wasn’t too impressed tho 😂
