Halifax regular saver account isn't useful for entering their prize draw since you can't deposit £5K into it; to qualify you'll still need to supplement it with other accounts paying very low interest rates.
MSE opinion against Premium Bonds is somewhat based on the opportunity cost of not taking up a few better options (such as current accounts paying high interest rates), however if you've already used those options or wish to diversify then Premium Bonds become more interesting, especially for higher rate tax payers.

Better to try the Premium Bonds - I havent done too badly on these. They pay out a certain percentage of the total pool as prizes. Not very high but there is always the chance of winning a million
More likely to win the National lottery
More likely (certain) to lose your stake

We bought our usual 2 £1 lotto scratchcards and won £7 this week. Not a usual week's result

Drop to the 123 lite account, you pay £1 but you keep the cashback element which should still return a few pennies each month, especially if you can overpay your utilities such as gas and electricity.
