At one time I had about £50000 in premium bonds. I would win regularly but it was always £50.

So £600 a year. A return of 1.2%.

Pretty piss poor really.

Invest it in a classic car instead. :y

Yes......the smart money will invest in a Signum before prices start to rise. Expect to see the first £30000 Signum by 2021. :y

my one Premium Bond was a christening present, 50 years ago. It has paid out over £500, although nothing for the last 25 years, which is a pretty good return on the £5 it cost. My sister has had nothing from hers.

Just remembered after reading your post.......I have a single premium bond from 1967 somewhere.....but where? :-\

Don't think you can buy single bonds in 2020.

Had several wins on the Lottery best being around £14,000 a couple of years ago, two mates & myself spend £6.00 every Saturday on 3 lucky dips, started this in 2009 after I won a Ford Ka in a work raffle which I gave to my Daughter two colleagues said I was a lucky bas**rd  so hence the lottery 😀

Won 4 times on Premium Bonds, 5 times on National Lottery and 3 times on People’s Postcode, with numerous Lucky Dip tickets on the lotto.

Howerever biggest prize just £66 on Lotto, 3 wins of £50 on Premium Bonds and between £10 - £30 on the other, with a £10 Postcode win just last week. Those wins are over decades of being in it to will it ::) ::) :P

So nothing big, but they keep me playing with small stakes ;D ;D ;)

Invested in May this year and won in July draw. With average luck the algorithm suggests 1.4 per cent per annum

Used to do the pools back in the 70s never won a single penny, I suppose that they still exist don't ever hear of people winning on them, the other thing was spot the ball usually cash & cars as prizes.
