Perhaps you can tell me how they found out they had won!

ta, chinagirl.x

Just paste the following link in your internet explorer browser .......

http://www.nsandi.com/products/pb/haveYouWon.jsp?section=haveYouWon&holderNumber=AAAAAAAAB&name=check

where AAAAAAAAB is your holder number where A are numbers 0-9 and B is a letter.

So you replace AAAAAAAAB by 12345678a or whetever your holder number is.

I lost my user number for the £2 worth of premium bonds I got about 40 years ago, plus I changed my name and address. It was still no problem to get in touch with them last year via the website and get my number back. Sadly I had won zilch in all that time! Now I've added part of my stooze pot in so am keeping my fingers crossed.

What we have done is cash in all our odds and sods and group them into batches of £5k, so we have £15k in consecutive numbers and then some more in loose change. We work on the theory that the bigger the net!!

This year so far we have won £200, last year we won £450.

But the thrill of waiting for the site to be updated.

New Question...

Does anyone know on what day of the month the draw takes place?

OH brought some last month so he is expecting to be in Mays draw. But he now needs the money to buy a house, as the one he wants has finally passed the survey. (Long story) :rolleyes:

He wants to be in the May draw, then remove them.

The draw happens on the 1st of the month.

And to get the money back is just so easy and quick if you let them put back in to your bank account. As we have just cashed in some of ours.

The forms and bonds where sent off last monday and the money was in the bank by last friday. And they say it will take 8 working days.

You have to get the form from the Post office. Has a rather fetching pink envelope

So if he pulls them now he will not be the draw. We have just bought a house and the PB money is being used to offset the mortgage. (only way we could afford it and the offset is well over 50%)so we left it until the very last minute to get it out.

Hubby had full wack in and I had about 11K in. He has won about £600 since september. And I have won about £300.

Still waiting for the biggy but with a 1K in each. I am not looking to hopeful.

Yours

Ooooh I might do that for my next stooze. That way if I don't win anything I haven't lost interest on MY money.

We invested £10k 2 years ago into premium bonds and won at least £50 a month. We only have £3k there now and havn't won a thing in the last 6 months.

I think you have a better chance of winning if you have mulitpuls of £5000 - something to do with the way the numbers are generated.

But worth a go for a no risk chance of winning something good. Just remember it can take a while before your numbers are entered, all the info's on the NSI web site tho.
