Hi:-)
Just a quick thread to see if anyone on MSE is still holding any premium bonds?
I've held a set of 2000 PB's that I received as a 21st birthday gift some 34 years ago along with investing £50 pm over the past 4 years and I've never won a single penny?
I also have a few friends who have held PB's for a number of years and also buy a few during the year, and none of them have ever won anything either. So I was just wondering if anyone on MSE has actually won anything? £25 would be nice :/:neutral:

    There's a long thread there that gets updated by regular posters on their performance, usually on or around the monthly draw day.

    I get prizes £25/£50 pretty frequently, and my holding is pretty modest. I opt to have the prizes reinvested.

    Ex-wife's husband has just won £25k on a £36k holding. He is raising a glass to all who didn't win this month to fund his win :-)  He'd won £25 each of the past three months.
