Premium Bonds for August

2nd consecutive no win month for me.

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. 😉

I have won £1,400 this year so far

I have won £1,400 this year so far

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

Thank you for your kind words!

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.

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

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 🤣

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

£75

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

Only £100 this month. Don't they know we have a whole new kitchen to pay for.

We both had a win, DH a bit more than me.

There seem to be more people than usual winning big with just a few bonds this month (you can order the table by “holding”, low to high). I think they’ve shaken them up a bit.

How lovely to win £10,000 from a £25 holding you bought in 1971. I hope the winner’s still around to receive it!

I have had PB since the 60's tbh I have forgotten about them. Never won a penny.

Just £25 this month, better than nothing.

£250 for me & £200 for my OH checked the results at 1am this morning.

Nothing for me here in my nest since last January. It's clucking rotten!

£100 for me. I was expecting zilch because I have won something if only £25 each month this year. I and a friend also enjoy the frisson of excitement each month. At least the winnings are tax-free.

£100 win this month . Then tried to close bathroom window and hinge broke £80 to repair ar well that’s life

I too love the little excitement of checking each month.
I am too old to worry about interest rates and waiting a year for a few pounds.
I spend any winnings on a nice meal or similar.
£125 for me today.

Oooops, Ive started a September thread!

£50 for me this month ....... better than nothing!

£175 for me this month. Most I’ve ever won in one draw! Nothing for DH.

Congratulations to all winners!

I got £100, which is good as I sold a lot of mine a while ago, and didn't win much when I had them.
