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

That's simply because you have more bonds in the larger blocks... the more bonds the more likely that one of them is going to be picked out.

Nope. More bonds combined in the other smaller blocks.

Edit:
I know what I've done wrong.
That 40% of bonds 6K block, won more in monetary value than the rest in 2023. But the number of wins was 37% of total wins for the year, so I guess that's about right.

people still waste time with these things? I would have thought the free trade platforms and £20k ISA allowances would have destroyed them by now.

I think many have already maxed their ISA allowance so dump the remainder into bonds. My bonds performance was OK compared to interest levels offered for ISAa but dipped below a threshold I wasn't happy with so I pulled 20k mid last year and put it into an ISA @5.9%. The 25.6k I have left in bonds now isn't seeing great returns at all annoyingly.

Yes this is true. I have a 2 year isa paying 5% but that was taken out in this tax year so I am stuck until April.
There is also a chance of a big win which makes saving a bit more interesting.

Many prefer to use ISAs for stocks, premium bonds are still very viable cash vehicles for taxpayers, especially higher rate payers.
 
my parents both have max premium bonds and normally win a few times a month. 200-300 normally but my mum is always wanting to tell me what they got :cry:

I should really start to invest myself
