So if you have a holding of say £13,000 and you win £10,000 then your account will show £23,000 on draw day but you will receive a letter confirming the win a few days later in the post asking how you want to proceed with the £10,000 win as in reinvest in more bonds or have it paid into your bank?eskbanker said:shanew4874 said:So basically any wins between £25-£1000 get automatically reinvested or paid into your bank account and any win of £5000 or higher you will receive a letter through the post confirming the win around a week after the draw has been made
I'm not saying that's wrong as such, just observing that NS&I don't seem to make any reference to that practice in the product documentation.shanew4874 said:Cant remember where I read it but I’m sure it stated that any win that is £10,00-£100,000 they send you a letter through the post, clearly whoever wrote that was incorrect though it seems
However, it's likely to be academic anyway - with a £13K holding, a £5K prize is only going to happen once every 457 years on average (higher ones being even less 'frequent'), so don't hold your breath!0 -

The results are usually available through the web based prize checker after about 23:30 on the day before the published date. So I'll be checking as I go to bed on Tuedsay night, which is my usual habit. As @refluxer posted, the published list of big winners is usually available the day before (so Tuesday) if you follow the link lower down the prize checker page where I think it usually something like "check who won in April".1

That would work @shanew4874 - I find the prize checker page shows first, some time after about 23:30 the evening before their published date, the app shows a bit later that night and they usually show in my NS&I account as winning bonds the next morning. Just be mindful that the prize checker page at that initial stage tends to show it as the previous month - it updates after midnight. So if you win in this next draw, it might show it as March at first, when it's actually April. I then get an email several days later and payment (to an external bank account) usually clears on the 8th or 9th of the month.1
