Re: Premium Bonds
several months ago I withdrew most of our combined PB holdings as interest rates improved.
I left a £1000 in each of my wife's accounts more to just "hold" the account not expecting to win anything on that.
I got an email this morning saying I'd won. So off I trotted to check expecting the usual £25.... to find I've won £500!
Wooty woot woot!

bah! I meant each of mine and my wife's... in case that wasn't clear!
I still won £500 though!

Re: Premium Bonds
The May draw updated after midnight.
A record month for thebarns flock.
4 max holdings.
£200, £225, £300, £1,400 for a total of £2,125.
Reminds me of a previous bit of luck whilst working in a large office in the mid 90s. One guy was flogging raffle tickets and I managed to scoop the only prize of £1,000. The winner was determined by picking a grid number in which a cow would do its business in a gridded field !

Not desperately bad really. At 3.6% p.a. it's only slightly below what you'd expect with average luck.

Best wishes,

I'm not grumbling at £150 (100 and 50)! It continues my unbroken run of at least something every month so far this year.

Re: Premium Bonds
Double checked, no million for us this month on one full and a £3k holding.
Check back in 31 days.

Re: Premium Bonds
£175 on full holding. Losing a huge amount (some on paper and some in real terms) on my share p/fs inc. ISAs, I was hoping for a biggie but we mustn't forget that the prizes are tax free and the bonds easily accessible. I haven't got around to totting up what percentage the winnings amounted to in the last tax year.
