  This just reinforces that you need A LOT in there to get anything like a decent return. I think the most i've ever had in there for any great length of time is £15k and i've never won more than 2-3 £25 prizes in any one year. Haven't had any wins at all for the few hundred in there at the mo for years.

  I'm retired on a smallish pension & I use PB's as a tax free investment. Any wins go into an ISA. Anything to keep the taxman off my cash. FYI I've won about £1000 so far this year on PB's.

  I was bought £20 of premium bonds when I was born. 10 years later I won £50! Works out at an average interest rate of over 13% a year. However, I've held onto them for a further 39 years, and won zilch since.

  My mum and dad and I had a combined £150,000 in PBs for around 4 years and the most any of us ever won was £675 (my dad). We've now sold all of them and put the funds into our ISAs. Premium Bonds aren't veeh "premium" anymore.

  I recently bought £50,000 worth. First draw is tomorrow, so I could be a millionaire soon 😂

  I watched a you tube video telling me to put money in at the end of every month.  I just put in £30 and regularly get £100 back.

  Would love to see a comparison with a ETF like ticker `VWRP`

  I think someday there’s going to be a huge controversy about this. One person consistently making more money is odd. It’s like ERNIE is always drawing the numbers from a certain range of all bonds. Is this machine ever independently validated?

  I've had a £1 bond that my Grandmother bought me in 1966. Still got it. Still check the result. Not a bean lol😂
