OH and I have both had small wins on this month's Premium Bonds. It actually adds up to the excess on our motor insurance, which is lucky as my car was run into by a hit and run person, whilst parked outside the house. I'm being very Zen about this smile

The first time I won on the Premium Bonds it covered the amount I had to pay to attend a Speed Awareness Course!

After many months of winning, usually small amounts, but last month £250, I was very disappointed not to win a bean this month despite reading the odds had increased this month and there were many more prizes.
However I was heartened to read that one of the million prize winners had a very small holding, less than £5k I think.

5K a small holding?? I had £350 but recently cash them in when hearing Martin Lewises verdict on premium bonds…(Used the money to get my gutters cleaned)

To win a major prize £5k is a small holding, it is mostly the people with the maximum of £50, 000 who win the million.

£25 this month

Jaxjacky Wed 04-Jan-23 10:36:24

£50 here.

£25 for me this month.

Same here annsixty.. We have both had modest wins the last few months but nothing today. Mustn't complain I suppose.

£1925 between us 🤣

Wow, congratulations Nannytopsy! I thought we'd done exceptionally well this month, DH had one £25, but I've had one £100 and one £50.

Auntieflo Wed 04-Jan-23 11:43:26

Congratulations Nannytopsy. I won £75.00

crazyH Wed 04-Jan-23 11:58:16

I hold £40000, but not won anything for months 😫

Charleygirl5 Wed 04-Jan-23 12:43:45

£75 this month. Mine is ploughed back in to buy more. A friend won £250, she is over the moon but does have the full amount.

My daughter won £500 today, she was very happy, great start to the new year for her - she’s saving up to move.

dragonfly46 Wed 04-Jan-23 13:03:54

£25

DanniRae Wed 04-Jan-23 13:13:04

Just checked - I had forgotten about Premium Bonds! - and I have won £100.

Very pleased!!

Largolass Wed 04-Jan-23 13:24:03

Mamissimo Wed 04-Jan-23 13:26:02

£1000! Blow me! 😁

Kate1949 Wed 04-Jan-23 13:29:31

Some lovely wins here smile

tanith Wed 04-Jan-23 13:37:14

So nice that some of you have decent wins 👏👏

Justwidowed Wed 04-Jan-23 13:39:22

£100 for me .Nothing last month but £175 in November.

Pittcity Wed 04-Jan-23 13:39:48

£325 this month. Best win yet.
I like to check the list of big winners and saw that somebody with just £2 in bonds won £10,000!

Dee1012 Wed 04-Jan-23 13:44:50

I started off with around £500 in premium bonds and also had a standing order (small amount) to purchase more each month. For around 2 years I won each month, usually £25 but it was a really nice little 'gift'.
I stopped the standing order for some months and didn't win anything over that period so, decided to reinstate the standing order...I've won every month since then, again only £25.
Coincidence?

Nothing for me 🫣 but £50 for DH 👏
