Premium Bonds - March 2024

Had premium bonds since 1960.never won a thing
I bought more 2 years ago still nothing

We have had a few wins and they are paid directly into our bank. I heard that a million winner gets a phone call. However what about the other big prizes? I heard they send a claims form. Is that sent by registered post? We live in the EU and the post is dreadful from the UK. It can take weeks and weeks to get a simple letter.

I am still awaiting my £1,000,000, which I reckon I deserve having had PBs since the age of 17 when I bought £5 worth.

My PBs come up most months, as I have the full amount, and I do much better on them than our savings accounts. I usually get at least £100 most months and often quite a bit more.

Had PB for years never one a penny.

Sorry but the big one is mine next month.
I was watching the weather report earlier today. My local small town was on the map as was my dad’s birthplace, a very small place in Lancashire, so obviously it’s my turn!

Ernie has been mean this month, as I only received £25! I wish the amount one could save in PBs would go up to at least £100, 000, but preferably more. I have the full amount of £50,000, and given each of our three daughters the full amount too, on the understand that if they come up with the £1,000,000 they share it with their Mum.

I won £150 this month but that win will buy more bonds. I did not expect anything this month as I have been very lucky for at least the last 6 months. I think the most I have ever won is £250 but I live in hope.

Thanks Katiekrunch - I’m not holding any hopes - I haven’t won anything for months

Somebody else has got my million AGAIN! I don’t know why that keeps happening…

Slightly off topic but I came very close to the Lotto jackpot on Saturday night. I had 4 of the required 6 numbers and the other 2 were each just one number away from completing the winning line. The £7 million jackpot would have been mine 😳

The day before my Dad died 11 years ago he urged me to keep his regular Lotto numbers going as he felt sure I was going to win the jackpot with them. For a brief moment checking those numbers on Saturday I thought it was about to happen !

June has been lucky for me! ... I won £400
(I have the full amount)

Nil for me.

£100 for us The interest works out at 2% over the last 12 months. We’ve decided to withdraw them as we could have had an extra £950 in interest from a high street savings account.

£225 each for us.

£100 for me this month which will go towards a new smartphone.
I'm happy.

I know that PB’s can’t match the interest rates currently on offer, although that is only recently so but I will be 87 next month and tying money up is of no interest to me now.
I just love the frisson of excitement at the beginning of the month just because I may have won a big prize.
I never have but they are good to me, £125 this month and last and I have won every month for the last seven, the lowest being £50 and the best £600.
I have invested more recently so they will be in July’s draw for the first time when I confidently expect the “big one” will be mine.

£125 this month I’ve had a good year after almost nothing for 6 mths.

£225 for me same as last month.

I’m with you Katie on this regarding loss of interest, although I only have £1000 in since 2017 as a bit of a punt and have had two £25 wins since!

For those with the full amount £50,000, the loss of compound interest at an average 4% over the last 20 years would have made me ill…your stash would’ve grown to £110,000 in that time 😱

Not a flipping sausage for about a year. I think I have about £5k. Not sure. Never won more that £25 since about 1958!
