My unusual good luck in December seems to have continued into the New Year - 4 prizes totalling £300 for me this month.
I must be pleasing the gods of luck in some way!

I don’t have any Premium Bonds but reading these comments makes me think I should buy some.
Could I ask if you all have the full quota to keep winning so regularly?

I have the max as does my wife. Both of us have seen some very decent returns since 1988. Thats how we swiftly grew our pots to max out. Now the monthly returns keep our gas heating at the almost tropical setting of 26C in day and bath rooms and 18c in bedrooms. The overspill pays the leccie👍which leaves our pensions to spend at will; but we are still annoyed at the loss of the WFA as that went to the local hospice.

Thank you that’s interesting.
26 ? Wow. I rarely go above 18!

I started off with 20 grands worth of premium bonds back in 2017 Helen. They were so successful with wins most months I added another ten grand in 2023 and in 2024 my winnings were £800 for that year alone. In 2023 I had one win of £1000 but usually they are £25 or multiples of that. Unfortunately 2025 hasn’t started off so well with no wins in January or February but I live in hopes for the coming months, and at the end of the day, your initial deposit and accumulation (if you elect to buy more bonds with your winnings) is safe and can be withdrawn at any time. I leave mine in to buy more bonds. Much better than any lottery in my opinion.

My wife has severe osteoporosis and movement limiting arthritis, so needs to be thoroughly warm around the house. 26c seems to suite her body, so that is the setting the heating runs at.

@OldGreyFox - Foxy, I think you are well overdue for a Bumper Win - 
fingers crossed for you next month.
I went through a very lean period when I wasn’t winning anything, or maybe a measly £25. That lasted for months, until December, when I had a bumper win.
Since then, I have been winning multiple prizes of £25, £50 or £100 each, totalling two to three hundred pounds each month.
I don’t expect this good fortune will continue every month - the Luck will shift to someone else - I hope it will shift to you soon.
Your turn will come soon!
