Premium bonds - weird coincidence

in my account it says next result due: 2nd July.
I guess the draw is a process that can take all day?

I checked yesterday but possibly that was too soon

I'll leave it until this evening and see

SWMBO is off on the p*ss out with one of her friends this evening so I will have some peace

I am picking her up at some random time - which is just as well as last time they came home together they came to Chester to Widnes via Birkenhead and Liverpool!!!

So I will check this evening and if I will "The Big One" I can have fairy lights and fireworks ready for her when she gets home!!!

or I might have won the Omaze house
you never know

Just got the notification of winnings today. £125.

I used about half of my PBs to fund the re-rendering of the front of my house at the same time they reduced prizes as interest rates fell... prior to that, I was getting winnings virtually every month, but it's been sparse since, despite still-substantial holdings.

I do have the maximum which is why I’m not happy with what I’ve won since taking them out

How long have you held them, Mo?
Have you cashed any in since buying them?

I do have the maximum which is why I’m not happy with what I’ve won since taking them out. Only one month I got £275 if I remember correctly. I’ve had a lot of just £25 or £50 which I feel is poor.

I've never 'done the math' of PB versus one of their savings accounts while I was holding the maximum amount, but never got any 'big' wins. though they were regular. The overall winnings for all PB accounts is precisely calculated, but obviously if you achieve that rate is down to chance (though you're likely to be closer to it with the maximum holding).

I checked at one minute past midnight and the results were there as that effectively was July 2nd.

I was in a quandary whether to do Ernie or Wordle first 😊

This year I am pretty much winning the same on Wordle as I am from ERNIE!!!!

£450 for me

Good job you sheltered them from the HMRC

Must be nearly 2 years now I think. No, I invested the full amount and haven’t taken any out.

Is it the app? Sometimes if you just hit refresh, today’s results then come up.

I've hit refresh twice today (which just logs me out)... not that it'll make any difference, not had a win since last july

The last couple of years i have done fairly well.
I have the full amount invested and last year my return was bang on 5%.
So far this year I have won £1200,
I have got a payout each month for the last 20 months. Maybe I am just lucky.

I know the draw is completely random, but I often wonder if some batches of numbers do better than others.
