    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.  :)

    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 😅
    I was born in the early 60s and have the odd premium bond dating back to relatives and parents friends buying one or two when I was born, so don’t dismiss the possibility that they could be owned by people still working!
    I was born late 50s and have two £1 bonds given to me by my late godparents which are included in my £50K holding

    "Grateful Greta Gets a Great Reward from ERNIE this February!"

    [More than a slight exaggeration perhaps, but very typical of many tabloid newspaper headlines I've seen over the years!]

    ETA: @Greta Just in case you might like to observe this briefly in passing.
