I would.

Step dad has the maximum of 25k in them, and never gets less than 1 £50 win per month.

So a mimimum of 600 a year normally? with the chance of alot more

Problem with the premium bonds is that the chances of winning has just been slashed so really your rate of return is no better than a standard savings account.

But with a savings account, you can't win £1 Million (or what ever it is)

My dad used to have them and got about what he would have if it were in a high interest account, except that he had the chance of winning a lot more. Never happened like
