I think I read somewhere recently that a person with 'average luck' investing �30,000 in Premium Bonds should win about 8 prizes a year. Didn't say what amounts.

Currently interest rates are an average of around 3-4% so not as good as some savings accounts - that said you could get the big one - but you could also win nothing.

 

Go to www.nationalsavings.co.uk

Have a look at the winners list that National Savings produce every month (on their site) of people who have won over �5000. It seems that unless you hold thousands of bonds you stand very little chance.

Of course you could just be lucky, and furthermore you can always get your cash back.

Good Luck!!!!!!!!!
