I shall nonchantly mention that I’ve just won £100.
About bloody time!
Mrs Zip £25.
Third time lucky. £25.
Annoyingly, this has reminded me that I should have put some of last Friday's paycheck in yesterday for October's draw.
Good run recently! £100, 2 X £25 for me and same for Mrs BUTR.
Another £25 for me.
☹
Funfundzwanzig!
Zero
2 * £25 for me. Happy with that result.
After a couple of lean months I’m back with 4 x £25 - yay...!😀
First month of having PB in the draw, won 4x £25! I like this game.
2x£25 for me. Not heard back from the wife yet. Maybe she's win big and done a runner.
Edit. No, 2x£50 for her, she'll be home tonight.
25 quid for us
4 prizes
3x £25
1x £500!!!
Woot - that's the best ever haul so far
Big fat £0.... again
2x £25 for me, 1x £25 for Mrs B.
"Bumper Crop" it said for me. The excitement was high...
4 x £25. No bad.
Nowt, and for a while now. But never mind, it is keeping it out of my pocket and thats what I still have them 😆
You get so little from the bank/building society that they rates are pretty much an obscene and thoroughly ironic joke. Pointless having savings with them.
in the 4 or 5 years I've had PBs, I have won £75 total. Nothing in the last 2 years
I might cash them in and buy a load of scratch cards!
Thats per £1 ticket, per month, is it? So someone maxed out will have 50000×12 = 600,000 “tickets” or a 1 in 77216 chance of winning the million in a year (or have I done this wrong?)
The odds of winning the £1m is 1 in 45.46 billion
if you have 600,000 "tickets" the odds are not 600,000 in 45.46b, they are 1 in 45.46b minus 600000
(or 1 in 45,459,400,000)
when you write it down it seems quite unlikely to win that.
Nothing for me in my 2nd month.
Nothing for me again. Not bothered about the big prizes, just a few smaller ones every now and then would be nice.
2x£25 this month. Ticking along nicely
The odds of winning the £1m is 1 in 45.46 billion
That can't be right? Apparently 22 million people have premium bonds and there are 24 x 1 million pound prizes won every year. That's a heck of a lot shorter odds than 1 in 45 billion?
Edit
I googled, you are right (applogies). But those odds are per month with a single £1 bond. Not many people with a holding that small!
Looks like I'm out of luck this month, but Mrs Lawman is £2 x £25 up on me.
She won't gloat at all, oh no...
t’s not £1 per “ticket” it’s £25 which is the smallest bond you can hold
So how come I have 5 x £1 premium bonds, since 1960?
And what are the odds for me never having won anything?
3 x £25. Rarely draw a blank these days. 👍
Nowt again. It'll be £1M next month...

Obviously in 1960, £25 was quite a lot of money! They used to be £1, and at some point they’ve changed with inflation or whatever. If you’ve only got 5 bonds, it’s minute odds on you ever getting a win at 1:46,000,000.
£0!
That's 2 months in a row now!
It's a conspiracy!
A single £25 this month, coke no hookers
Did anyone get a phonecall from Agent Million today?
"Did anyone get a phonecall from Agent Million today?"
That's right, shatter my dreams a day early.
Did anyone get a phonecall from Agent Million today?
No, but I've been out walking the dog so probably missed him.
I've checked the published high value winners for October and I'm not amongst the lucky ones ☹️. A few £25's would be nice tomorrow to make up for the disappointment 😉
Sadly my mysterious missed call yesterday turns out not to be agent Million. 25 compensation though.
2 prizes.
1 @25 and 1 @50
Not bad given I made a large legal withdrawal last month to pay for the extension.
Me 2 x25 same for Mrs Zip.
£25 😎
My 100 percent record of winning bugger all continues. 😢
2x£25 after a blank last month
Nowt for me this month, 2 x 25 for the wife although I did get 651 quid on the lottery on Saturday.
£25 for the wife. The usual for me 🙁
2 * £25 for me. Happy with the result.
Nothing. Hopeful for next month as my redundancy pay is in there now so should increase my odds by a factor of ~5000!
4 x £25 for Mrs B and 1 x £25 for me this month.
