So here’s an interesting one

We have a lease car going back in May, and lease prices are silly at the minute so Mrs FD took out at bank loan about 1.5 months ago.

The money (£15k) has gone in to premium bonds until we need to buy a car.

So far it’s been in one draw and we got £100, interest rates have gone up so we have saved money on the loan purchase and we are already paying the loan off.

£225 for me, £275 for the wife. The change in the prize rate recently is really noticeable. Although Mrs INVG has been lucky over the past 6 months and her rate of return is at 7.4%

£50. 200 years ago that would have bought a nice house.

£50. 200 years ago that would have bought a nice house.

Even less time, our deeds/history shows our house being sold at £56 in 1906.

£175 (25,50,100). Biggest win I've had. I'm torn between shifting some money into a fixed term bond for the next few years before the interest rates start to drop in the future.

250 nicker here! About bloody time. Bizarrely coincided with me withdrawing most of my holding last month and dumping it in my SIPP.

Had small wins totalling about £200 last year with something every other month or so, nothing Jan, Feb or March this year, there's a decent amount in the pot but I'm hoping that big win comes in before I have to cash out to pay for a small extension

£175 for the inexplicably lucky Mrs Lawman. And a somewhat dissapointing £25 for her other half.

£50 😀 I've been a bit quiet on the wins front, only 2x£25 last year so this is a nice addition.

£25, that'll pay for a Starbucks at Centerparcs next week.

I tried not to be hopeful that one of the two significant prize winners in my area with the same pot as me wasn't actually me, I was right.

£25 here, so a total of £125 in three draws. I would have been a lot better sticking the cash into a bank, even after tax 🙁 Makes the decision to cash some in this month a bit easier though

@johnners Good effort, Sir.
Nothing like so profitable here - we've had £175 between the pair of us. Back to the grindstone for the next month then.

I think the  OnePlus OS update upset the App. I had to reset it

£75 for me

£0 for my wife

Early retirement and globetrotting can wait another month

Biggest yet at £500, I’m on a good patch of numbers. Unfortunately it does not help my situation of being kicked out my flat in two months. To solve that I need the top prize!
