Does everyone on PH have the maximum £50k ? Because judging by the recent posts, it does seem to be the case.
Unless, only people with £50k post on PH ?
It makes my £2500 look very piddly.
A lot less than £50k, less than half that. Have been lucky though £1075 since January. Unless, only people with £50k post on PH ?

You are the exception that proves the rule.
Everybody - and I mean EVERYBODY (except you, of course) on PH has got the maximum of 50K invested.

New to this post as invested £1,000 this month so won't be in draw till next month which is annoying but it's how it goes.Unless, only people with £50k post on PH ?

I've held £3 of Bonds since the early 1970's and never won a penny so here's hoping the newer bonds give me a better return. I'll be adding a minimum of £50 per month going forwards.
A long way off the maximum investment
Pulled mine out a couple of months ago and it was the right decision for me. Far higher gains than my historic nils with PB. Of course Past performance is no guarantee of future results!
Have about 2K left with PB as maxed my ISA for 24/25. Likely my strategy will be ISA first then if I'm lucky enough to have any overflow, either mortgage or PB for the (40% savings) tax benefit.

My first win in a year. £150+£50 on 5K
I was looking at the results...two things.
1] Someone from W. Yorkshire invested £700 last November, and won £100k in June...FFS
2] Sorry if this is probably a dumb question...but what is the 'Bond Value' and how is it calculated from the Holding (The holding being what you pay in, right?)

Point 2) I would guess the bond value refers to the number of bonds held in a group that their winning number was in and the date is the date they bought those particular bonds. But the holding is their total holding.I was looking at the results...two things.

So take the second 2nd one down in Surry; They have a total of £50k, but their winning bond number was bought in Jan 2017, when they bought a block of £9,200.
Point 1) Good for them.

I believe we've had £100k winner a few years back? Then a £25k winner, and now a few £10k.
