    £200 for May, (2x £50, 1x £100) on just over £42K. Big relief since I was on a hat-trick of blanks.
    Total for the year so far is £500. Still well below the average expected return.
    Save £12,000 in 2024: £17,500 out of £12,000.
    Save £12,000 in 2025: £0 out of £12,000.

    First time having PB and I put 10k in. Thought I'd give them a try as my late Nana had full holding and over the past year had won something every month. Won £100 in my first draw! Very happy.

    I have just had a weird and unexpected bonus. At the beginning of the month, using an app I saw that I had won £50. Fine.
    Yesterday the £50 was put into my account. Great, as expected.
    Today a deposit into my account of £25, with a reference indicating it was a PB win.
    Checked the app and no indication of the further £25.
    Loggined into NS&I and looking at my win history, no indication of the further £25 win.
    So an unexpected bonus.
    Updating my win for May 2024, it should now read
    £75 on a £32k holding.

    Nice bonus.  Look back through your win history and see if the £25 has been added to an earlier month - they re-distribute wins when a previous winner wasn't eligible for the prize in some way, so it might have been added earlier.  It's been reported here by others and my aunt had one like that when I was managing her affairs - hers was dated about 6 months later.

    Thanks @BooJewels. What exactly am I looking for? If the online site shows a win of £50, but my records indicate a win of £25, that would explain the discrepancy?

    Yes, I'm assuming so - or probably 2 x £25. It'll only work if you know what wins you had previously and there's one that's now £25 more than you'd recorded.

    My aunt didn't have an on-line account, so it came in April last year with a letter and a paper warrant (cheque) for a win the previous October.
