					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.poundsandsense.com/why-i-am-still-not-a-fan-of-premium-bonds/#comment-970&quot;&gt;Invisibly Me&lt;/a&gt;.

Thanks, Caz. It was certainly an interesting post to research and write. I guess a proportion of people will always invest in premium bonds in the hope of winning a big prize but that chance really is depressingly small. I&#039;d say a far better strategy is to invest your spare money along the lines mentioned in my post, and then have a couple of quid a week on the National Lottery if you want the excitement of a potentially life-changing win.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The table comparison is really good to get a snapshot of the changes over the years. Sadly I&#039;d agree with how little value Premium Bonds really are any more, not just with prizes reduces in size but with how chances of actually winning something have been slashed. The April changes feel more like a death knell for Premium Bonds. I&#039;ve only ever one 1x £25 in probably 12 years of having them. However, that&#039;s probably more than I&#039;ve accrued from a Barclays ISA (absolutely awful!) Fantastic write-up, Nick.
