[Finance] Premium Bonds - prize pool increased again - you ever have any luck?

[dstanman]

£100 this month

 

[HAILSHAM SEAGULL]

I had 2 prizes and Mrs HS had 6 prizes, total winnings £300, 4@ £50 and 4 @£25. Where were all the biggies hidden
Happy with £300 for the month though.

 

[Mustafa II]

Blank this month.

Can't win them all.

 

[Biscuit Barrel]

Nothing again. That is 4 months on the trot with 15K holding. Starting to get a little bit annoyed now.

 

[BLOCK F]

My best month ever, I think. £575 for me and my wife won £175.
Back to zilch next month probably.

 

[Coldeanseagull]

£225 between us

 

[GJN1]

Two wins. £150. Pays for overpriced Moretti and pastry-based products tonight.

 

[Clive Walker]

Im keeping track on my investment now.

Since I've lumped in a further 22k I am expecting/hoping that my monthly winnings will either increase in value or the frequency of wins will increase. I'd take either but preferably both.

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

Nothing for my £25 holding. When WILL my luck change.

 

[Mr Bridger]

Nothing last month, bounced back with £200 today.

 

[arewethereyet?]

20k holding and have for a while now, winnings over the last 2 years are less than would have been in an ISA.
with the prize pot forever shrinking I’ve just withdrawn it and closed my PB account, going into a fixed rate ISA.
lost patience and interest.

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

lost patience and interest.

Excellent joke.

Only £25 this month on 30k holding, not impressed

 

[Insel affe]

Max in holding £250 for the little ones college fund, that will be a packet of frazzles and half a light ale when she goes.

Not quite sure whats to be annoyed. Its a lottery each month but you keep your stake if you win or not. Think of it as nothing else.

We have multiple accounts in this house with near 100k spread. We win something most months mainly small and never massive. This month we got nothing.

Keep with it is my advice , you may win or you may not but you will never lose
