£75 here, and £25 for the other half this month. We seem to be on a steady, if rather uninspiring, run just lately, which works out at the grand rate of return of 0.375% for the year so far. It still feels better than many instant-access Savings Accounts, or a lot of fixed rate ISAs for that matter.
Naff all here
Third month in a row with zilch.
I put a big chunk of my early retirement severance package in on May 24th to stop me frittering it away so I'm still a month away from being in the draw.
I just converted half of my useless ISA into Premium bonds (today) so I can join this party. When can I first expect to be disappointed?

August. Not great timing putting your money in at the beginning of the month as you miss the following month meaning a wait of almost 2 months. Not that you are missing out much interest on your ISA during this time.
edit: £37.56 per year interest on £10,000 at 0.375% so your extra month delay has cost you a pint in lost interest assuming you invested £10k.
Another month with nothing. I just saw that someone that only invested in August 2020 has just won £1m though. :-O

Thanks, that's annoying but it's what I expected.
The best my Nationwide ISA is offering is not 0.375%, it's 0.03%. Half is going into Premium Bonds, some on sensible stocks and the rest going on red ($GME).
Nothing dropped through the letterbox today, though I hold out something happening in the next few days and if nothing, well thems the breaks.
Also keep meaning too empty the building society accounts as with above the interest rates are a complete pi55 take. PB are more lucrative, even if i only get 2 prized per year.
£25 for me and £75 for the Mrs this month.
£25, could really do with £100k minimum. Lol! Maybe my lotto ticket will come in but I doubt it. Someone wins though.
£50!!
£25 this month still getting more than I would with it sat in the bank so can't complain.
Talk in the news there are further plans to reduce the chances of winning. Lots of investors winning too much apparently.
Sigh.
6th month of nothing since depositing 10k. Considering moving it to stocks and shares ISA.
£25.
First month with skin in the game, should I have been notified of my new-found riches by now??
Tomorrow is the earliest I think.
@tallpaul only if it was a really big win. Little'un are revealed tomorrow. Have you downloaded the prize checker app?
Draw is tomorrow.
The high value winners are announced on the 1st working day of the month:

Prize value......Holding
£25,000..........£300
Someone's had a nice surprise!
Dumb question - if I buy some for my son can I sell them at any time and the money comes back to my bank account that funded it?
When you buy them you input a nominated bank account, which could be yours. When you sell any proceeds will go to that account.
I put a decent chunk in end of last year, not a single prize so far, maybe this'll be my lucky month !
@tallpaul yes, all it does is check prizes. Called prize checker and you can log in with a fingerprint.
Nothing again......
25 sheckles .
Good start to the weekend.
Someone locally won 100k..... Looks like it wasn't bruneep.
Zip
2x25 and 1x100 -my first step away from the 25 quid level and into the big league 😉

Naff all. Standard
Nothing here!
£0

2x£25 from my first month of investing my severance slush fund.
1x25 for me.
3x25 for the wife.
Such a low return for us over the last 12 months that I think cashing some in to buy a new (to us) car makes the most sense. Can't get a loan that cheaply anywhere else.
Zero 🙁
Some lucky little sod won a £1m from £20k in less than 6 months.
Nowt with about £13k in for 6 months. Wish I'd invested in bike bits...
Still Zopa closed new investments and cash savings accounts pay nothing so might as well stay in for now.
Zilch from the hope tax.
2 x £25 this month, looking back over ownership I am at around 0.6% return.
£125!!! First big win for a long time! Woohoo!
£25.
1 x £25 after a couple of months of zero. Looks like the fish & chips are on me tonight.
