Yet again - naff all.
Did i read somewhere they're going to limit some of the prizes 🤔
I think I'll take most of it out and stick it in an ISA.
rate of return is going from 3.6% to 3.3 iirc
£175 this month.. my mate got £1250.... Lucky bugger 😁
£0.
At least my holdings can't go down....
0 with a full pot. I think I will have one more chance in April before it all goes on the new house
£250 on a third full pot, first one in a while
2x£25. First win since November. Slowly whittling the pot away as I spend it on renovation work too so chances decreasing as time goes on
This is really interesting (!).
I’m going to get some money in it this month to get in May’s draw.
With a full pot you would “win” at least £100 a month.

Is it tax free?
I doubt it.
Bonds won't be tax free unless held in a stocks and shares ISA.
There will be nothing for me. I checked and there is no blue moon in the sky.
Another reasonable win with 4 prizes totalling £200. 😀
And... they're off for April (beaten to it by 1 min)
£400 between the two of us here, both on full holdings. Same total as last month, just a slightly different distribution.
225/FP.
Me £75
Mrs Zip nothing and she always wins. Both fp
£50
Pish.
£25 me £0 mrs g
£1m next month
£50
£100 for my wife
I can feel an ISA transfer coming up 😕 but in the whole scheme of things ie having actual savings 😀
First draw today with 3/5th of a pot, parked the cash there temporarily while house stuff happens.
Nothing. Not impressed 🤣
Nothing. We were very successful when we first started around a year ago, nothing big. I have a theory that they don’t shuffle the tickets and just pick from nearer the top, it must be easier for them!
£50 for me. Thats 3 months of poor winnings now 🙁
I have a theory that they don’t shuffle the tickets and just pick from nearer the top, it must be easier for them!
I have a theory that big blocks of bonds sitting near the top of the pile are also easier to select for a prize. My winning bonds are usually numerically close to each other, easily missed if in smaller batches.
Nothing for 7th month in a row. £10000 in the pot. Iz disappoint.
£100+100+25+50 on full pot gives me 6.93% over 4 years thanks to £5075 in Oct 24
3 prizes totalling £200.
My winning streak continues 😀
£250 - biggest win ever - just after withdrawing £20k in to an ISA 😂
£250 !!
£0 for my wife
£275 & £200 here, which is so similar to last month that I initially thought they'd forgotten to change the data in the app.
£100 +25 which works out about 5% for the month and a half it's been in there.
Another zero
£150 for me
A first 50 quid for me. That and a 25quid are the only two I have had in 25 years. BUTT... Still a win
£75
Now removed a large chunk to pay for solar panels....
Incredibly I won 2 prizes- pretty much the first win for near 2 years. £25 and £100.(on £5250 held)
Still going to take out £5k and put it in an ISA or something. Especially as i think they're going to 'jiggle' the prize fund again, which will drop the odds of winning.
£175 for me
£125.
First win in a year and a half since starting, only have £1000 held - £100 win
£50 for me on nowhere near a full pot. Need to take some out soon too as need new windows
No early retirement or new bike for me this month, but another reasonable £200 win which is inline with previous months.
£25 kicks in the goolies for a FP.
After several months of reasonable wins, this time it's a grand total of just £25 between the two of us. I sort of feel cheated, but am not in a position to moan really.
Yay £50
That'll buy some beer this weekend
