    zero this month (had a run of those last year, hope it’s not starting again). However looking at the big winners it does seem as if the majority are with bonds bought recently, I.e. within the last five years. Do you think it’s because the random draw machine favours these numbers or simply that more bonds have been bought over that period? 
    Because there's considerably more of them. A random draw machine does not favour anything.

    2x100 + 2x50 on a 25,700 holding this month.  Best month I've had since buying any.

    Sweet FA on just over £42K for March, after a decent start to the year it's back to more like my regular luck in life.

    I understand that this is part of holding Premium Bonds but starting to feel these zero months and low amount months are occuring too often for my liking at the moment.
    Save £12,000 in 2024: £17,500 out of £12,000.

    Zilch for me this month on £22k.  I've had winners in the last 7 draws, so I was probably overdue a blank month, so wasn't surprised.  My rolling year return is still 5.56%, so still happy with that.
