Bonus Bonds!. BB aren’t an investment scheme they are a saving scheme by which you get your money back but no interest. You don’t even get anything to cover inflation. So you get no earnings and no capital growth. They are not even covered by the Government deposits guarantee scheme.

You’ve got 1 chance in between 9,600 and 11,000 of winning a prize – with prizes starting at $20.. You have 1 chance in 363 of winning $20 on Lotto – but if you don’t win you don’t get your money. So Bonus Bonds is really a vehicles for gamblers not investors.
