20% in a year? That must be statistically, really rare. Did you get a whopper prize?

No.

I find people declaring the amount they win WITHOUT declaring their holding somewhat unhelpful

So I calculate the winnings based on our holdings as if they were the same every month for a year - and I've done this for a long time. Seemingly nobody raised any comments until the 20% this month.

PB winnings are like the lottery except you can get your money back so no income is guaranteed.

Got £200 this month "2X100" which puts me on a yearly average 8.2%. better than the banks, plus tax free & a chance of a bigger one. That is with 25k with them. I'm happy.
Its quite nice on a win as Alexa wakes up & blows a trumpet & says i have won. Using Bond checker.

Is that 1.17% over the last 12 months?

 

[ReganAndCarter]

50 quid.

 

[Tetrarch]

Is that 1.17% over the last 12 months?

Nope it's an annualised return based on a single month's win

225/230,000 is 0.00098

x 12 = 0.0117

=1.17%
