    Sorry, last question - and I think I will get it :)

    Today were revealed winners with £10k+ and tomorrow everybody else? 
    The high value winners dont actually find out until tomorrow either. Unless they find their bond numbers on the winners list.
    Oh I wish you haven't written this message.. so let's say I've won £10k - the only way to know that is to findmy bond number in the list? (plus region and holidng amount should match?)
    Yes - I did a quick scan earlier for my city and holding (plus the "when bought and amount bought at the time" to fine tune), and once I realised I'd not won over £25,000 I gave up. You could carry on down through the winners if you want, but there's a lot of them
    Or you could actually reorder the list by something like your area so the actual part of the list you would be interested in would be much smaller. So I did by my county this morning and there were only about twenty winners I had to look through - easy to sack your eyes down it particularly if you also know your actual total holding - this reduced my likely list to only a handful. 
    How do you re order the list please?

    From this page, go to the drop-down box on the left-hand column, which defaults to ordering by Prize Value 
  • What?!? So I have been logging in all day today just to realise my winnings are less than £1000 and they won't add this news to my account until tomorrow?!?

    Gosh, I really am pinning a lot of hope on winning big one day 😄

    Part of the Furniture 10,000 Posts Name Dropper I've been Money Tipped!
    Someone has won £10000 on a £4 bond bought in July 1961, with a total holding of £19. I love to see wins like that. I just hope they're still around to enjoy it.  

    Well I hope so.and that it makes up for losing their winter fuel allowance!

    When cashing in bonds you can request them before the next draw and it asks you if you want the bonds left in to take part in the next draw before they withdraw them for you after the draw has taken place.
  • I have to withdraw all of my premium bonds. Should I withdraw them on 3rd Feb or 4th Feb?
    What day is draws?

    Actually the rules are, any bonds sold in January won't be eligible for the February draw, so selling anytime after midnight Feb 1st is ok.  The 'draw' will actually have taken place in the last week of January sometime, the results don't become available until February.

    And there's another with a £5000 win on a £25 bond bought in June 1958.
    Not really, these people are likely not longer around - more or less they were 30 years old in 1960, so probably would be around 90 now - and these bonds have high chances of being abandoned/forgotten. 
    So sadly they just take prizes away from us 😅
