£525, my best month ever.
I'd only got anything in February and August this year but now I'm back ahead of expected returns so I'm happy.
Unfortunately my van is in the garage so that's £400 of it gone🙄
£100 for me on a half-pot after nothing last week.
Friend won £5k last month so it can be done....
£175 for me! I’m happy, new canoe is one step closer.
£175 here too. Went in Wilf’s a Staveley for some soup and came out with a £175 framed photo too. Easy come, easy go… 😐
£75 for me
£100 for mrs zip
mrs zip’s mum ,nothing for the 3rd month in a row.
3 prizes totalling £150. It'll just about cover Christmas. 🤔
Has the app changed - didn't seem to come up with "the next draw is in x days" this month..
£75 & £125 respectively, for me and MrsLawman.
£250 on a 20k pot, best ever for me.
- £25 for me, nowt for Mrs J-L ...
Its takes some skill to have 0 on a full pot 2 months running.
Mrs Zips mum has struck out 3 months in a row, full pot.
£125 - wahey!
£225 this month which has boosted this year's overall to £1250, still only 2.5% return but first 6 months of the year was dire (1%pa).
Edit:- still seems surreal to have £50k each with no immediate spending needs
£125 for me in dec, £1300 this year, 3.47% return - just under base rate.
MSE reckons I'm just above average in my luck this year...
Well, it looks like I'm resurrecting this thread for 2026.
£175 for me and £100 for Mrs Lawman. The new year could be worse.
Poor start to the year, zilch for Mrs J-L and me ....
£0. Again.
£200 for the Mrs and the standard zero for me!
I awoke from my slumber at 0200 this morning and checked the app, 2*£100 prizes awarded to me for my continued support of the bonds. 🎉

I'm about the same, statistically average, or at least that's what the wife tells me.
8 (Eight) - as the old videoprinter used to say for the football scores prizes for me this month. 4x£25, 3x£50 and 1x£100. Anyone ever had more than 8? Just the 1x£25 for Mrs S.

Don't spend it all at once! 😉

Early retirement is still a distant dream

lol, it goes into the holiday spends bank account. Pay for some nice meals in Malaga later this month.
£100.
@mattyfez About the same for us , I'm contemplating opening 2 Fixed Rate ISAs for us , Virgin are paying 4.11% at the moment, it's the thought of a big win holding me back . Clever bloke is ERNIE 🙄
200 for me. I amstil above base rate just about with the very slight chance of becoming rich. I'm happy with that
0 for me again on the max amount. come remortgage time im taking the whole lot out and clearing some debt. im well below cash isa average
Nothing for me again.
But also I appear to the odd one out in being nowhere near having a full pot
£450 for me. I think that’s my best month, although with 7 winning bonds I was slightly hoping for more when I did the big reveal.
Nothing last 2 months but over the last 12 I'm running at at 3.95% gain on full holding, which I belive is marginally better than what I can statistically expect.
just checked £1375! - record for me. Never won a £1000 prize before so I'm happy.

You just have to look at the maths and not be emotional about it, If you've not used you full ISA allowance then premium bonds don't really make a lot of sense.
EDIT, and thats only a sample of 1 year, like I got slightly lucky this year and made almost 4%, next year that could easily be 3% or less... the longer you hold them the closer to the average you'll get, overall.
