    Had £50k in for 4 draws now. Won £25, £75, £0 and this month £25 again. Withdrew my total holding of £40k a few years ago now after a 6 month totally dry run. Feel much the same this time, will be filling ISAs for my husband and I come April. Just have to accept I’m not particularly lucky and destined to get below average returns from PBs I guess

    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 😅
    They are very likely to be around! Often grandparents would buy a premium bond for their new grandchild, which would make these winners in their 60s.
    I still have the £1 bond my parents gave me when I was born in 1958!

    £225 on near-FH. (No spreadsheet, just a plain text file.)
  • £75 this month, on full holding: £25 + £50.
    Both prizes from a £4,000 batch bought in 2020.
    That batch of £4,000 bonds has now won £575/14 prizes.
