    You can specify which bonds you cash in still, you just need to use a certain form.

    WOW one of the £1million prize winners in the March draw won it on a £100 holding, bought in May 2023.

    Congratulations to the very very very lucky person!!
    Nice! That kind of level makes you wonder if it was a present for a newborn

    Someone with a £14 holding from 1977 has won £100,000.  And there's a £1 holding from June 1970 with a £1000 prize.

    Just proves that holding on is better than cashing in and rebuying. ;)

    I wonder if the holder is still alive after all this time. I recently found a £10 bond that I must have got as a birthday present back in the early 70s. I did check but there were no unclaimed wins on it.

    Out of interest, where did you check? I had a look around the NS&I web site a while back as I have some bonds which have no holder number, bought by my parents before a holder number was a thing.

    I had a £10 bond from 1992. When I set up a formal account 26 years later I enquired about them and got them allocated to my new holder number.
