Premium Bonds - Lucky So and So - zippy

Dad has a few premium bonds.

For the last 3 years, he's made at least 25% a year on them.

Annoyed as I made <3% so cashed mine in to pay the mortgage off.

He has given me access to his account because I thought his account is lucky and matched his modest savings in his account. His bonds just won a 4 figure sum. Arrgh!!!!

That's 25% in the first 4 months of the year!

Bought my new granddaughter £250 of bonds in November.
She won £150 in January!

They've been a reasonable investment for me, giving, roughly, the same return as any other (when you consider the prizes are non-taxable).

SWMBO, however, got £5K last November. Has she let me forget it?

Not so lucky Premium Bonds!

Together we have a few hundred bonds dating back 50+ years. My wife's last salary (ever) was some £120 before having our first son - she never went back teaching (80 this year)

We bought £100 bond for him - he is 52 next month and it has never won a penny! We still have the actual paper bond and any winnings are his if any were forthcoming.

In total, what was then 2 or 3 month's salary is now a month's groceries. We have not seen anything in the last 25/30 years on our bonds or his £100 bond.

MIL moaned that hers never won anything. I asked if she'd ever informed them of change of address - she hadn't. I sorted it out and she got prizes from years back. I was golden boy for a while.

Got the full holding.

Returns have been 4-5%

Best month was £650, but £200 more typical.

Tax-free and won't go down the toilet with Trump's dickmoves.

Yup, I've got the max too but last year's return was only 3.6%.

This month was a measly £75.

Not a premium bond, but I won £100 Shell fuel voucher (4 x £25). You know, the type of lucky dip/random draw competitions that are advertised at the pumps and you think "whoever wins those?" Well I did! Which was nice.

I thought the Brooklands Capri was a sure bet. Clearly not :(
