Best short term investment options for lump sum

[zoomfwd]

What about Premium Bonds ?

You can invest up to £50k, money guaranteed, can be withdrawn immediately and have a gazillion to one chance of winning a million.

I've just done this for £15k I don't need until December, month 1 won £25, month 2 won £0, just waiting for Decembers draw on the off chance and will withdraw the money.

The prize fund is currently 1.25% so over time, with average luck you could get this

No worse off than leaving in an account at 0.05% and a bit of fun think your going to win big!

Yeah but you have to have it in for a full calendar month before its eligible. If you don't get it in before 1st Dec it won't be in the draw until Feb.
