Premium Bond Winner ?

I'd rather not think about how much interest I've lost out on vs savings accounts (even after tax) by holding the max holding for the last couple of years.

But you're going to win £1,000,000 next week, aren't you?

Good thread to see peoples experiences. I will invest in the new year, read mixed things about whether to get a single block or separate it into 1k or 10k blocks, does it really make a difference? are they all sequential and people have noticed a difference in wins?

I have a £10k and a £5k block and more of my wins seem to come from these than lower value batches but it may of course just be coincidence.  A few of my reinvested wins (up to the £50k maximum holding have actually won other small prizes

My return on small bonds has been poor this year barely 2%. However a relative has two 20k bonds and his return this year is just short of 10% with wins of £500 x 4 plus numerous £100 wins. Just depends how lucky you are.

Glad this post has risen to the first page again - I’d completely forgotten tomorrow is the start of a new month (yes, even despite the fireworks going off outside🙄) and a new draw. Good luck everyone for a prosperous 2024!

Hmm.  £10,000 won on a single £5 holding bought in 1977.

Embroider that one, conspiracists.  ;-}
