Premium Bonds
 

Ive got a few and only ever had £25 winnings,anyone had a decent win:wonder:

i bought 20000 just before i used the money to pay my mortgage off. Reckoned i wouldnt have another chance to try. I won between 150 and 250 pounds almost every month. After 6 months hadnt won the millions so took it out and settled my mortgage. :D worked out at 6% return.

My gran also had quite a lot and she used to get a cheque every month for about 60 quid. Think she had about 10000 in bonds.

I had £600 last year,and ive had £250 already this year,there isnt a month that goes by with out atleast one cheque,but they have all been for £25,saying that,ive drawn more than i would in a bank account!

I've only ever had a small amount. But do know someone who won the million.

Had a two year period where I won every month, mostly £25 but sometimes multiple £25s, Won £100 this January.

Average 2 X £25 month with the max holding.

6x£25 in one post is my best,i let the mrs open them now,she's has more luck than me:)

I've had about £10k in there for the past 6 months, and won the square-root of jack (okay, I got £25 once) - not been as good as a savings account so far.

I had £20k in them about 13 years ago, used to get at least 1 cheque a month. At the time it worked out slightly better than a savings account, was quite nice getting the letters as it added a bit more excitment than looking at a savings statement.

It's pretty poor odds though unless you've got loads in there. Think you can get £30k now, back when i did it £20k was max iirc. I'd usually get one a month so if you break the odds down, it's poor really. I'd certainly never bother with lesser amounts. I kow people that have a grand or a couple of hundred, waste of time.

Mind you, I wish I had a couple of hundred quid to stick in there these days :cry:
