    Wow, if no prizes in 6 years wasn't enough to make me whip out my cash, this article is.
    In what way? The odds of winning something are much the same as before ("the odds of any £1 bond winning any prize of any value will remain roughly constant at one in 30,000"), although the average return drops from 1.25% to 1.15% - do these seem like game-changing reasons to you?

    What an enormous rip off.
    Or to put it another way, you've been exceptionally unlucky, as per the posts from last week further up the thread.

    Just looking at the winners, someone's won £100,000 from a £1000 investment... not bad.

    Then on page 8 someone has won £5000 from a £5 total investment... won it on a £2 bond from 1956... LOL! I wonder if they even know about it? Epic.

    If you had got the million, I think you would know by now... and unlikely to be posting on here!

    Unless you are a female from Devon or a male from outer London, you are out of luck.

    Is Herts classed as Outer London? Will be extra nice to Mr GG just in case :rotfl:.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
