Premium Bond Winner ?
Comments
-
There are 734 major prizes. I have 500 bonds held in one lot and live in Somerset.
Just 7 winners from Somerset. There's 15 in Devon - I might move. There are 21 prizes heading to Lancashire including one of the £million lucky bar stewards.
£500 bonds won 28 times and £100 bonds appear 25 times. Might be worth selling my 500 and buying 5 lots of 100
£500 holdings only appear twice but £100 holdings feature 5 times. Maybe I'd be better off with just one lot of 100.
The biggest winner as a %age of the holding was for a bond bought in 1958 for £3 (total holding £3). This winner won 1666 x their bond holding (£5,000). This was also the oldest winning bond - by over 15 years!
Just call me statto!

£50 again for me, keep'em coming...
That's £250 this year so far with a £6k holding (Was £5k for the larger part of the year).
Will one of you clever guys work out the equivalent interest rate? Father, Husband, Jogger, Painter. Mostly at the same time, except the jogging and painting bit, it didnt work out.0 -

Hi Gorgeous
So there is still hope for my one bond acquired in 1959.
Cost me 6d (2.5p) then - I won it in a raffle.

Sweet FA (yet again) for me with a 10k holding. However, I still get jittery when someone knocks on our door towards the end of the month!In case you hadn't already worked it out - the entire global financial system is predicated on the assumption that you're an idiot:cool:0
