    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. 
    Someone on here recently won 25k.

    That's impressive that someone won 25k. I thought it's all some sort of a scam.

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

    Wow! Congrats! You are a very lucky person! I’ve never had more than £200 (and that’s a great month for me) on full holding. I used to think I was a lucky person but premium bonds are proving me wrong 😂. 

    I’ve only had full holding for about 3 or 4 months but before that it was between £35k and full but I’ve had about £900 in the last 11 months. I sometimes wonder if I should take some out as some people on here are doing well with less than 30k, though it’s all luck but I’d be a bit less frustrated at “poorer” wins if I didn’t have full holding. 
  • £375 nearly Max Holding, and my Nephew £75 max holding (he has won every month this year, except one)

    I have now held my premium bonds for 50 months, starting with £2900 and gradually increasing to Just over £30k. In that time I have won 26 times, 18 of those being £25.  Total winnings so far are £1325.  This month I won £100.
