£250 on max holding this month.  I think this could be the last draw, like I mentioned last month, I think I am going to have to draw out almost all  of it and leave £500 in due to a property purchase but I was wrong last month so I will see what happens. As it goes, I have had a not too bad return, the Jan and Feb draws were the worst and if I do draw out this month, at least I have come out on a high note rather than a disappointment.   At least I got my first win from my first block of £500 1 bond of £50.  Oh well, let's see how it goes.

March £75
April £350
May £425
June £225
July £150
Aug £300
Sept £325
Oct £100
November  £400
December  £250
January  £0
Feb       £50
March   £250

A good month for me and MrsT - £1000 total, both FH.

Should three months of £0 on a full holding be suspicious? I'm not sure what to do... 

The chances of a blank month from a full holding are roughly one in ten, so three in a row is about one in a thousand - unlucky certainly but not suspiciously so IMHO, and an experience that'll be shared by hundreds if not thousands of others, if that's any consolation....

SO I called the helpline, and it turns out I actually did win £350 this month on my full holding, even though the website doesn't show it!

The NS&I call centre system shows the March prizes on my account, but the website & app doesn't yet... I was told it can sometimes take a while to update. Who knew. 

I definitely got 0 in Jan & Feb though, but £150 in November (when I started) and £225 in December.

My partner started a FH account in Dec and has won between £100-350 each month, so I guess it does all average out...

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

2x £100 and both bonds were bought well over 20 years ago

Total return for year 4.95% so quite nice as its tax free so I’d have had to get much higher rates if saved elsewhere.
