Oddly enough (and happily) I came home to a letter saying I've won £50 on the premium bonds yesterday. Hooray I've never won anything before.

me too I had 3 envelopes yesterday all with £50 !! only have £1k in PB (bought 2003), so I'm all for PB's. gave me a nice positive lift on arriving home from a hell work day.

congrats 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.

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.

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 suspect
