[Finance] Premium Bonds - prize pool increased again - you ever have any luck?

[dazzer6666]

The rate goes down next month. I was thinking the same

Well it moves in line with interest rates generally so the rationale for holding PSBs doesn't really change.............average cash ISA rate is around 3%

There's always next month...

 

[Washboard Didgets]

£0 again.

I bought £5000 worth a year ago, and have added £50 every month since. So now have £5600 holding.

11 draws now and so far only 1 prize of £100 in October. Which I think makes a below average return so far?

Will continue in the hope that one day I might win a larger prize. If a £100 holder can win a £1m prize... the dream continues.

 

[Coldeanseagull]

£125 between us. Not in it for financial gain....which is lucky as the return on full holding is pants!

 

[Binney on acid]

£250 on max holding. My best for sometime.

 

[Boroseagull]

£325 on max holding this month.

 

[Elbow750]

£200 this month. £38k holding, and averaging just under 5% for the last year.

 

[Biscuit Barrel]

Nothing for the 3rd month in a row. 15K holding.

 

[Marshy]

£125 this month, pretty happy with that.

Theory is broken. £0 again from £15 k holding.

I bought a further 11k last month valid for the next draw and a further 10k today valid for may draw.

Will be interested to see if the returns change.

April's combined winnings for me and Mrs Peteinblack = £500 (was £600 in March!)
