Premium Bonds for August

£75

£1050 so far this year from £30000 (?3.5%)

Katy, I can understand that. I am definitely not a gambler but I enjoy the bit of excitement every month.

We’ve won £200 this month. It works out at 2.5 % over the last 12 months. I’m trying to persuade DH to withdraw and reinvest, we could get nearly 6% elsewhere, but he likes the excitement 🤣

£400 this month and OH got £350. I have won £1500 this year so I think this works out at 4% (£50,000).

Did u know that if you opt to reinvest your win it ddn't go into the next draw but the month after. It's treated the same as any bond purchase.

Thank you for your kind words!

I have won £1,400 this year so far

Wow! I never came close to that, even when I had the full amount. Congratulations!

I won nothing this month but hubby won £325. He has the max amount, £50,000. He just looked up how much interest his bank would have given on £50k in a year and it was £93. He has won several thousands in P Bond wins this year.
I am going to transfer more savings into P Bonds this afternoon. 😉

2nd consecutive no win month for me.

We won 300 pounds this month between us.

Incidentally there are apparently a lot of unclaimed winners going back many years.
I think I’m right in saying there is no time limit for claiming a win, even from decades ago.
I guess people move house and forget to inform NS and I.

I’m sure it’s worth digging out any old certificates and checking online to see if they have won.

I have a very minimal amount that was bought for my 1st birthday, I’m nearly 67 and have never wronged a single penny.
I think you need a substantial amount to have regular wins.

I think some people are luckier than others. I have a large stake but £150 is the most I’ve won in one month!

Love to see £10k and £25k winners with very small stakes. Maybe one day ……Thomas 😂

£225 this month for me. The two big winners had both only recently bought their bonds. One was only April!!

My DH and I each have the maximum amount and get a win most months since we got them about 7 years ago . It certainly earns us more than the interest on our saving accounts .
I got £125 dh £325 this month .
My AC also have them as a saving vehicle for a property deposit and get wins most months

£100 for us this month 2 x £50. Still waiting for a big one, but not complaining! Every little helps

Only won two lots of £50 in 18 years.
How does one check.

£275 this month, the most I've won so far.

I’ve got a single one from my childhood.

I imagine the poster meant £30k.

I am fairly sure you can have a £30 holding , they were sold singly in the early days and my D who is now 58 received £5 worth when she was a bridesmaid aged 5.
I must ask her if she still has them.
I expect she has no idea.
