That's freaky because when I told my friends I'd won the £50 another friend said they'd got £50 this month too and another person we know's brother got £50. Had you ever won anything before with yours? Nobody I know has ever mentioned winning anything before. MFi3 member 105 - MFW date Oct 2023 - 12 years 9 months more0 -
I keep the top slips from previous wins, previously won £50 and £50.
I did hold £24 worth since 1986 - not a penny in winnings, sold them and added £976 in 2003."if you can't afford it don't finance it".0 -
my mommy bought 4k premium bonds 5 months ago and won 3 x £50 prizes in the first 3 months. She spends £8 each week on the lottery and has done since it started. She has won £10 in total from that!
when mortgage is paid off i'm going to be investing a lot in premium bonds i suspect0
