    My first ever win - £100 on a £580 holding! Very happy with that, I didn't expect to win anything with such a small holding.

    I've been just adding spare change (£30 or so) each month for the thrill as an alternative to throwing my money away with the lottery
    Me too! Plus, you still have the cash even if you win nowt....... win, win all round  :D

    I have held premium bonds since 2002 but have only had a full holding since 2016. It was a long wait to win that big prize.







    Amazing! You've doubled your money, effectively getting your stake back. From now on everything else you win is a bonus! Very nice position to be in.

    Looking at my purchase history, I held £20K in PB in 2002 - that may have been the maximum holding at the time? I didn't add more until 2016 to increase it to £50K. I know I delayed getting the max as the returns I received were poor then.

    Don't make me angry... you wouldn't like me when I'm angry.

    Just a single £50 win on a holding of almost £43K this month. 

    £850 so far for 2024, below par. Still remain hopeful for another good prize one day.
    Save £12,000 in 2024: £17,500 out of £12,000.
    Save £12,000 in 2025: £0 out of £12,000.
  • 2x 100 and 2.x 50 this month on FH.

    My app shows main results not due until tomorrow.  That win is probably their first after holding it for decades
