It’s Premium Bonds draw day.

I’m still hoping to get something that could wipe out the mortgage.

It’s the same for us all! Pay off the mortgage, buy one of our daughters a horse (and the associated stuff needed to transport it) then put a chunk away safely for our other daughter to use when she wants to buy a house/car whatever.

50 squid this time.

£100 for me. Happy with that.

Of the top 100 prizes, only 2 were in Premium Bond accounts opened pre-2000, and yet the majority were in accounts opened post 2015. Hmm… ‘random’…

That’s because since 2015 probably 70% of the 120 billion invested currently in premium bonds was invested?

All my figures are estimated guess but that’s why more recent bonds seem to win more often.

Nothing for me after a good result last month 🙁

£25 this month, better than last month, but feeling disappointed.

£125 for me, the most I’ve ever had. In fact it is about 125 more than the last few years!

£100 + £50, biggest haul yet. Not quite the £million retirement fund, but not a kick in the balls either.

The most I’ve won is 500.

Nothing the past three months.

Thinking of sticking the lot into a 6% 1-year saver.

2x £100 prizes for me this month, but considering I dropped my invested stake down to £1k back in spring, I’m pretty happy with that! I haven’t won another prize at all in almost a year, but I’m @ 20% interest for the year so far based on September alone! Puts me in the top 1.6% luck wise according to Martin Lewis’ premium bonds calculator… 👍🏻😁

Nice surprise this morning when checking mine, £5025 this month!

Takes my return from 4% to over 22%

Wow congrats.

£100 which is ok but overall still performing poorly for me.

£150 this month takes my winnings to £2k in the first 10 months of the year on  £30k invested

£125 this month, sure there’s a 0 or 2 missing.

£25 on £45K – disappointing month.

£1050 for him

£0 for me

£100 again. 3 months in a row.

£250 for me

£50 mrs zip and £125 for her mum.

SFA again. Never ever won a penny. 

not a sausage.

But looking a the prize breakdown it was nice to see a £5k win from a £1 investment made back in the 1960s. Some one should be thanking their gran or granddad about now 

£200 for me.  thats £1000 in 4 months

250 squidleroonies for us. 

£100 for me

£50.

£25. At the moment PB’s are safe bit not rewarding, no huge surprise.

Will continue to dream of paying mortgage off and riding in the Alps all summer!

Nothing this month but I’ve had a good run up to now… Surely this means a big prize next month

£0 and £0 for my wife

I think the app is broken 🙃

£300 this month

I’ve been lucky this year, something every month, no big prizes but £1975 so far

£1375 since May. Better than a poke in the eye.

£300 for me, £50 for herself. It keeps trickling in, but is hardly life-changing so far.

Nothing at all for over 6 months now, thinking of bailing out and investing in coke and hookers instead.

5 prizes for £300 this month, 1 x £100 and 4 x £50, living in hope for the big one!

£25. Giving me a return of 1.5% over the last year.

£100 for me. Happy as always. Looking forward to December with the added bonus of opening an advent calendar window and seeing what I win from that as well.

£200.

Yay!!! 

Makes up for last month’s zilch.

I shall turn the thermostat up in celebration 🙂

Another month of nothing has been enough for me. Cashing it all out and putting it in a high interest account instead as the guarantee of 8.4% is far better than hoping to average 2-3% with the tiny possibility of winning more. When interest rates eventually drop (or NS&I make the odds of winning better) I may put some back in but until then I’ll stick to just the Lottery for my gambling and go with guaranteed returns for everything else.

£200 here.  takes this years return to 2.25%.  Trying to convince my wife to move it (they are in her name)

Me – £275

Mrs JAG – £450

Blimey :o)

@reluctantjumper – Where are you seeing 8.4%? The best I can get at the moment it about 6%

It’s a Flex Regular Saver from Nationwide, have to be an existing Member to qualify (current, savings or mortgage already with them). 3 withdrawals a year max before the rate drops but fine for a decent return but still keeping access if needed.
