    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?
    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.
    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.

    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. 
    £2023 in 2023 challenge - £17.79 January

    Yes saw that as well. Hopefully life changing for them (appreciate it's not give up work territory, but still an amazing amount of money to win).

    There was another £100k on £100 but that was an old bond, 1990 I think. I love these wins as it is hopefully a huge amount to them.

    Is there a way to get access to the excel sheet Premium bond high value winners for past months say Jan 2024? 
    Currently March 2024 sheet is accessible on NS&I website.

    Just £200 this month - still hoping for a bigger win sometime but happy to get the ‘expected’ return🙂

    I was fully expecting a blank this month as I've had a decent run for the last 6 draws, but got £50 - so it felt good to get something when I was set up for nothing.  Lowers my return a smidge for the rolling year to 5.83% on £22k at present, but was less for some of last year.

    If anyone is interested in stats, as I note them as I go along - I've had prizes in 18 of the 23 draws I've been in, with 36 individual prizes - 11 of which were £100 - nothing higher.   Best month was £325.
