    If you put £5 in a bank account and spent the interest on the lottery, do you think you would have won?

    There's another answer.

      I had 10k in them but had to cash it in as part of the deposit on our house. Ticked the box to cash in after the next draw.
      Got £25 in that draw.


      So, with the 10k out, I had £25 in bonds.
      Got £50 the next month, and £25 the month after.


      I now use them as my main war chest. (it's a bit more than £100 now - and another £25 this month, which means I've got something in 6 out of the last 7 months.)

        Grandad used them for part of his portfolio and reckoned they did great, but then they kept making them worse so he got out.

                  £50 this month which makes it £150 since May.
