    I had some bought for me in 1958 and have never won on these.

    In 2003 I bought £30k and averaged 2% return between 2003 to 2006.

    In the last 10 months I have won £100, therefore getting my money back and put it back in a building society or similar

    I had £2 in Premium Bonds for over 40 years and won nothing! My dad only won on his £2 stake after he died!

    Then I got a letter at my address for a former occupant saying she had won - she was also dead!

    I bought £1,000 worth of Premium Bonds just under two years ago and have won just £50.

    Could do with a really big win, then I could afford to marry one of those beautiful Russian ladies that keep proposing to me!
