Probably sweet FA for me again - but I will check..............

[Jomlett]

Double Millionaires start this month...but not for me!

[WELSHYORKIE]

No, just as I expected sweet FA

Zilch for me.

Slightly more difficult for me to check as the papyrus is very fragile and I keep forgetting what the glyphs represent. :-)

Glad for you Ric.ror ! What kind of percentage gain does this win give you this last 12 months ? ie, if you had £1000 invested and you had won £50, the gain would 5%, before taking into account inflation (which would bring the gain down to about 1% or 2 %)

Congrats Ric.ror :)

[Tilly2]

£50.00 for me, too. Nowt for Mr T.

[gness]

And £125 for me this month....

Dee...you don't need to know your numbers, just your holder's number and please do check online......my winnings went missing once. I wouldn't have known I had won had I not checked...x

[Ric.ror]

Thank you for your congrats
Mikey - I am not sure if you are telling me my money would be better off somewhere else - if so, I'm sure you are right but it's a short term measure until I get my buy-to-let empire going

[Ric.ror]

Welshy - some lucky person who has had £6 in bonds since 1959 has won £1,000 so take heart

Ric.ror...as a retired Financial Advisor, I would never recommend Premium Bonds as a method of investment, as there is no guarantee of any return at all, and your money is eaten away by the relentless effect of inflation. Premium Bonds should only be held by the very rich and wealthy, as they can afford to gamble.

But I am pleased for your win ...Congratulations !

[Ric.ror]

Mikey - if only I was very rich - but thank you for your advice - you are right - and mine is only a short term investment

Purely out of interest what would you consider - very rich?

[mikey4444]

Too difficult a question to answer Ric.ror ! But the normal rule for gambling is never to bet more than you can afford to lose !

[Ric.ror]

So I'm ok with the Euro millions ;-))

[Booldawg]

I only play the postcode lottery. Trouble is it makes you hate all the other areas in the UK who seem to win on a more regular basis! Its not good for my Chakra!

Never won a bean on my Premium Bonds, but Dad often wins with his, jammy beggar !
