Premium Bonds draw dates

priceworld

Does anyone know the best time of month to buy and sell premium bonds as to make sure your bonds are in the monthly draws?

I can't find the answer on the NS&I website.

Buy them when you like, from what I remember your cash has to be in a month before you get into the draw.
When you withdraw you fill in a form and nominate the month you wish to cash out after, you will have the money in your bank within a few days, they are fairly quick and reliable.

Any bonds bought on or before the 31 Jan, will be eligible for the March draw.

You buy them towards the end of a month .... so you're parting with your money as late as possible :-

...... and you sell them early in the month - in order you get access as soon after the previous draw as possible?

Why buy them, their worse than saving account rates anyway, plus your giving money to that !!!!!! of a prime minister
