    £200 for July (2x £50, 1x £100) on a holding just over £42.5K. A good month but still behind average for the year.
    Total £800 for the year so far.
    Save £12,000 in 2024: £17,500 out of £12,000.
    Save £12,000 in 2025: £0 out of £12,000.

    I have bonds totalling £38.7k. My last seven wins seem to have a symmetry about them, four months of on/off £150/£200s bookended by £125s. Predicting that August will now be a £0 win to match January 😂

    Jan 24 - £0
    Feb 24 - £125
    Mar 24 - £200
    Apr 24 - £150
    May 24 - £200
    Jun 24 - £150
    Jul 24 - £125
    Aug 24 - £0?

    No big win for me this month it seems, but I do like to see those who have really beaten the odds. Minimum investment, first month of eligibility, bang! £10k 


    Yes, I feel the same. I can imagine the astounded delight and that makes me smile. I’m glad for them.

    Awesome for them!  No big prize for me, I have a holding that's not divisible by 25 so it's easy to search for on the big winner list.

    every month there is always an interesting big wins, someone holding a fiver for 30 years gets 10k or whatever.

    I'd love to hear the backstory, if they forgot it existed, who bought it for them, what they'll do with the money.

    Feels like a feel good fluff piece would be free advertising to get more people to buy bonds as well
