Premium Bonds - If you post to say how much you've won, please also say how much you have invested.

It's been cleared up several times before. People use statistics to prove a point that is wrong (more winners bought since 2008 or something versus prior) but that's just because more tickets were sold. The individual likelihood of a ticket winning is identical for everyone, no matter when or how purchased.

Just down to pure luck then

Wondering if by rather than purchasing a specific sum on one transaction, purchase the same total amount but in multiple smaller transactions, will it make a difference ?

No, no difference at all.

£100 on £38k

Running at 3.1% return so far this year

Slime · 6 May 2023 at 06:06

£50 off 30k this month.

We're not even getting close to the 3.2% we could be earning from our savings account so I've pulled the entire lot out and am transferring it across.

Gixer · 2 Jun 2023 at 07:54

Didn't do so well this month, only £50 with £39k in.

£25 off 34k

after nothing last month

Freakbro · 2 Jun 2023 at 10:32

Nothing as usual, but I've only got £3k in there.

Am thinking I'd do better with a guaranteed 3-4% return in a savings account with so little in PB's

SideWinder · 2 Jun 2023 at 10:44

Nothing this time. Been so lucky recently so it was due to run out.

15.8k in there.

in terms of return probably, I leave some in bonds for a bit of fun

koolpc · 2 Jun 2023 at 10:53

My friend recently bought PBs.

No email notification of win but when she checked online earlier she had won £50 this month....dont they send you an email of a win?

She chose paperless for the account and wins to go into current account.
