And there's another with a £5000 win on a £25 bond bought in June 1958.
So sadly they just take prizes away from us 😅Not sure who you mean by 'us', but that would only be the case for the bondholder whose bond was found to be ineligible.If a prize is awarded to a bond which turns out not to be eligible then there is a redistribution process in which the first winning bond in the next lower prize band is 'upgraded' to the higher amount... all the way down to someone who just missed out becoming a £25 winner.So the prizes are only 'taken away' from bondholders who weren't eligible to start with - and the gain would be to another bondholder, not to NS&I.3 -
