Are UK Premium Bonds a complete waste of money?
They say there are 2 one million pound prizes a month and other prizes worth up to £100,000 - but you never seem to hear about anyone winning these larger ones. I've had the odd £50 win and so have other people i know, but surely between us we should have heard of someone winning more than that. But we haven't. Is it all a big scam? What do other people think?

The nice moneysaving expert people explain it all here:

http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/savings/premium-bonds

Basically, the maths says its not worth it. Its not a terrible return on your money, but its better just sticking it in a savings account.

It is not a scam though!

No they are not a scam and you always have the option of getting your investment back and you can win good prizes ive won 2x£50 and a big £100,000 with bonds totaling £1,600 held for 4 years now,try doing that on the national lottery,you'd have more chance of being struck by lightning!

I don't think they're a waste of money as you can get your money back at any time you want (I think).

How can they be a waste of money?

Lets say u have a spare grand....
its sat in a savings account earning a bit of interest
Put 1000 lucky dips on the lottery
u may win a few hundred quid if u r LUCKY. - Soon it'll be all gone

Buy £1000 of premium bonds - leave them for a year or two - you might not win but at the end of the 2 years you've still got your £1000.

If u want a complete waste of money... give it to me lol

Probably are a waste of money. I have had Premium Bonds from when my first child was born, over 40 years ago, and purchased some in between then & now, but never won a penny. Yet I used to know somebody who won nice sums of money quite a few times
BTW, can anybody beat my record of over 40 years without winning

No I think they are an excellent investment as you can't lose money on them.

Plus you always have the chance of that big win one day.


noitall Yorkshire England (U.K.)
You say you never hear of anyone winning, I do, I had a £100 & 2 £50's this month for instance.

Depends how many you hold, the odds are 15000 to 1, so if you hold £100 in bonds you could expect to win 1 prize every 150 months (12.5 years), on the other hand if you hold the maximum £30000 in bonds you should get 2 prizes per month

Maybe they just don't tell you when they win, they just treat you like a mushroom, keep you in the dark & **** on you twice a year.

Sounds dodgy to me - i have NEVER known of anyone who has ever won a penny with them.

No

you can actually get your money back, so if you invest £100 when your bored you get your £100 back.

how many gambling companies allow that?
