Anyone had any luck this month? I havn’t but DH has won 2 x £25.

No I haven't. The Gods are obviously looking after your DH after all his cooking, cleaning, nursing chores etc!! ?

Anybody found an unexpected million £££in their bank account?

Forgot to say sorry, MawtheMerrier

But it is lovely on this tropical island, wish you were here wink ?

We've been lucky - £75 for DH and £50 for me! Made my day!

Poppyred Sat 02-Apr-22 16:42:44

£75 for me!

Kate1949 Sat 02-Apr-22 16:44:01

£50 for me. Nothing for DH.

Luckygirl3 Sat 02-Apr-22 16:47:47

Nowt this month - which is very unusual - I average about £50 a month - maybe the bonanza is coming next month!!

Parsley3 Sat 02-Apr-22 16:52:36

£75 this month. I am always hoping for the big win. £££££

recklessgran Sat 02-Apr-22 16:53:01

Nothing for me. Again.
£25 for DH.

fairfraise Sat 02-Apr-22 16:59:49

Nothing for us this month, just after the last garden chair collapsed!

Charleygirl5 Sat 02-Apr-22 17:00:01

£25 for me. I have been so lucky to win something each month for the last 6 months. Somebody as to win the large amounts of money so why not me? Next month it will be a dead cert.

HurdyGurdy Sat 02-Apr-22 17:00:22

Not a bean. So no change from the past 25 years!

My husband and I have never won anything on ours. Do people have large amounts in premium bonds ? We only have 3 between us so the probability is greatly reduced I know but wondering if it would be worth putting say £100 each .

Zilch

We both win most months. Never had big wins but always beats the banks, ISAs, unit trusts etc for returns over a 12 month period.
After 10 years we finally realised this and transferred the bulk of our savings to Ernie. The capital is still there and the returns for the last 10 years have beaten all our other investments. Very satisfied with them.
Martin Lewis has a win probability chart, depending on your investment and “average luck”.
Sorry, 62 Granny I think 3 bonds has as much chance of winning a prize as me appearing in a Miss World Pageant.
Not totally impossible but very very unlikely. ?

I bought some bonds two years ago for my three dgc. I won 50 and one dgs won £500

There is an article in the Times today about PBonds. Apparently it can be difficult to get them back without probate if the holder dies.
I.e. your DH dies and leaves everything to you. You don’t need to do probate for anything except the bonds.

£25 last month. Cheques usually arrive around the 10th but I believe we're moving into compulsory direct bank credits soon.

muse Sat 02-Apr-22 19:59:10

We both win most months. 3 lots of £25 today.

We withdrew 3/4 of our bonds 3 months ago then reinvested it a month later. New numbers.

Callistemon21 Sat 02-Apr-22 20:01:31

£25 - it's not going to help DC3 with a house deposit, is it.

Oldbat1 Sat 02-Apr-22 20:04:10

I have a £1 premium bond since 1971 but have never won anything. ? (so far)
