Premium bonds - weird coincidence

[bikingdad90]

I dropped @SpokeyDokey a message privately, but that is a good website @sungod as it demonstrates that savers are sometimes just as good as ISA’s subject to the tax deduction trap for those who fall into the higher rate band.

October Results are out

...

my account says it's still waiting the October's results. I wonder if those with more bonds get priority over those with a small holding?

I wouldn't have thought so.
Do you have the Bond checker app?

Are you using the app? Sometimes when I first open mine it says results not available yet but if I just click on Try Again they come up.

 

[MontyVeda]

i just log into the website... and I think I'm having deja vu.

just checked again and my account still says; Next result due 2nd July

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

Nada for Mrs figbat and I this month.

Ha. My last one... I transferred the rest over to the investment account, but said leave it till after this month's. Got £125, which is the most I've had for ages. I can delete the app now.

I won nothing in September and only ( only ! ) £75 in this October draw.

I have just been online and requested cashing in my entire holding.

I know the winnings are quite variable but just as an example: If I had won £75 every month that would equate to a return of just 1.8% ( without reinvesting the winnings ) Even paying income tax at 20% on building society interest I can get a return of £1640 per annum, or £136.66 per month.

I may re-purchase some fresh Bonds in a few months time and hope that a change of numbers and in one large block may improve my luck.

Going by what you and others have posted on here, I don’t seem to be very lucky in comparison.
