The lucky lottery

Premium bonds has not only given me passive income every month, it has also given me the experience of building discipline. I have saved diligently to be able to build up a pot of bonds, and it has also given me the opportunity to feel like I'm playing the lottery. However, it is much more safe as you never lose money, but you still have the potential to win large amounts. Reviewed on: 26th May 2024

They always respond extremely quickly.

It is a lottery. Make sure you are aware.

I like the idea of the lottery, but so far winning very, very little and way beyond what I'd get in a savings account! Reviewed on: 15th March 2024

Interesting savings option

I like the idea of premium bonds, though I’ve not yet won. I consider it a free lottery. Reviewed on: 13th March 2024

Good return

Good return monthly with upper savings limit. Tax free and money is safe and easily accessible if needed Reviewed on: 23rd February 2024

Free lottery.

Premium Bonds are the one everyone knows when it comes to NS&I, with a limit of £50,000 and no guaranteed return they might not be for everyone but your money is 100% safe from financial collapse of institutions and the winnings are 100% tax free so if you're likely to pay tax on interest then Premium Bonds may be for you. The monthly lottery can be an exciting moment of surprise for those with the right temperament not to be disappointed if they're unlucky. Reviewed on: 27th January 2024
