Premium Bond Winner ?

Zero on a £50k holding, when the app told me that I was surprised and thought it might be a fault.  Same for my wife.  Same for my mother !    What are the odds of that?

£50 on full holding, garbage.

If that was garbage, then what would you call my family's!

Chances of a blank month with a full holding are roughly one in ten, so blanks for three in the same month will be about one in a thousand.

I’ve got £10k put aside to pay for landscaping the garden sometime in the next couple of years so put it in PB’s again. Won nothing both January & February.

So that means one in every 10 months we should have a blank one each ?  Interesting!  Never happened before and my mother has had the full max £30k then £40k then £50k for decades!

Yes, on average it should be close to one blank month in ten with a full holding, based on current distribution, but of course the random nature of Premium Bonds draws is that this won't happen predictably and regularly, even though it should average out to that over the long term.

Only £100 this month.

12 month win streak. Last blank month was last Feb. £38K holding.

0 on £1250 holding, 0 on my LOs £300 holding (don't expect to earn any on that one atm - the idea is it's a very long term pot of money for him). 

I've only won one £50 in the last 13 months of having my holding though.

First win of the year in February, a whopping £50!

Congratulations to the extremely lucky person who has a £100 holding (all bought in December 2023) who has won £100,000 in the March draw!
