Premium Bonds

[Marshy]

That's a nice sum to win, enough to make a bit of a difference but not enough for begging letters. If I won that amount, no-one would find out (and I mean no-one, though I might tell the cats !)

100k in 1992 is probably nearer 300k today

I have had £1000 worth for about 20 years never won a penny.

I am fuming, I bought £8K more last month and won jack shit

If it is any consolation my wife & I hold £50,000 worth of PB & we won nothing this month!

At a one in 24,000 chance of winning a prize, if the odds play out, she should win once every 16 months or so

[MENTION=579]Drumstick[/MENTION] does very well I think!

I have 30k in there and get £25 win most months.

as you should, by the odds. Nothing for me this month, but I can wait another 4 weeks for the big one.

I feel I need to join in and post with the "look how much money I've got" crew

I have £2 of premium bonds and won £50 once, which I used to buy a ZX Spectrum

Inflation isn't based off house prices, it is based off standard products which you purchase in shops etc. House prices rise a lot faster than that, thus it isn't a good indicator

True, it may not be nationally, but it was for Marshy.
