Premium bonds - weird coincidence

[PeteXXX]

After 3 winning bonds last month,

1 x £25
1x £50
&
1 x £100
this month. A good end to the year!

£75 for me
1 x £25
1 x £50

I hate you all. I don’t reckon it is really a random number generator used, they must be some algorithm. After I won £500 last year in December I’ve won nothing since!

 

[Mike_P]

Nothing for Dec - £75 in the last 6 months

Results are in…£125 for me

 

[biggs682]

A combined total of £325 this month

 

[mistyoptic]

£25 here.

In other news, I've discovered that grandchild won £125 last month when I had nothing - karma?

£25 smackers

I am hoping that someone on here wins a four figure sum during 2023.

Would be nice to see. I have only ever had one, that long ago it was via cheque! £1000.

That’s a decent haul though even with a full holding

Just £50 this month which is about the same as I get in interest from an instant access savings account with less than half the amount invested. It may be time to cash in and stick the money in a 2 year bond to get a better return as I'm only getting the equivalent of 1.5% return this year..

Winning chance going up to 3% from 2.2% in January according to an article in Moneysavingexpert

Less £25 wins projected but more of most other amounts.

I know there is a "maximum amount" they are allowed to have on their book at any one time due to "competition commission" as they are effectively the government and it is seen as unfair on "Private Banks" but I am amazed Rishi hasn't found a loophole yet to let us invest / loan to the government, more into Premium Bonds.

About time given the interest rate. I was almost toying with the idea of taking my money out and going for a savings bond instead, but there's always that chance, however small, of hitting a bigger win that makes me leave it.

I was thinking the same, but I just can't be bothered to move them So will let them stay where they are.
