Have you used the Premium Bonds calculator?...........the odds have greatly reduced recently............which is a shame because the more you have the more you could win but now the more you have your chances of winning have reduced and so has the value and amount of prizes......:(

I have just bought some Premium Bonds - might as well have a small chance of winning something when savings rates are peanuts.

That's why I've just had a punt on the Euro Lottery for tomorrow night £89 million seems a nice pick up to me, but as you've said pipin you've got to be in it to win it:mosher:

One thing I've never understood, and never been fully explained, is the money left over, after all has been distributed, and can't be subdivided further.

I have about £4000 in Premium Bonds. I bought the last lot about a year ago. I won £50, 8 years ago, when I only had a couple of thousand Bonds and didn't win again until in the last 6 months I have won £100. I know someone who has half the amount of Bonds I have and won £600 last year. Makes you sick, doesn't it? :rolleyes:

Thats gambling for you.

re Accylass, teh sort of Bonds you are talking about are completely different to Premium Bonds. These will never lose their capital only their actual 'worth' due to erosion by inflation.

teh loss of 34K on Bonds and stocks are due to him being prepared to take a gamble with his money in return for the chance of a good return. like chucking it on teh gee gees investing means you should be only taken by people who know and accept teh risk of what they are doing.

Re: Premium Bonds
 

Can someone please explain what they would do with £89 million? It is just obscene to have a prize fund that big, surely sharing it out among several smaller prizes would be better:(

Re: Premium Bonds
 

We have just drawn most of our money out of the bank and got premium bonds,,,,cant be any worse off these days

Re: Premium Bonds
 

yep 89 prizes of 1 million would be better ,,,i would settle to win £89:D

Re: Premium Bonds
 

Well Bernie if I won £89 million I'd have a word in Erics shell like and buy a football club:D

Perhaps I should invest my student loan. Apparently the government are going to have to start paying student loans back for us if we have deflation..
