No sign of mine. Very odd as Chase have made every other weekend incoming payment available straight away, though I didn’t think BACS payments ever landed on a weekend - are those that have got theirs using Monzo or another account with an early payday facility?

No, I've not got mine this morning, I was already thinking that it might not happen this month until Monday.

OH hasn’t received his, I’d already assumed it would be Monday. I did a quick search on PBZ in our joint account and they’ve always been 8th to 10th.

I use the PB prizes as extra, bonus, pocket money, it's my emergency fund otherwise. Also the safest place to store  money used to pay my tax bill next year as I'm doing a bit of consultancy this coming year.

My holding is my emergency fund too - it feels just inconvenient enough to get at, that I am much less inclined to dip into it for casual spending.  I put my winnings in my EA holiday fund - it's paid for several weeks in UK holiday cottages thus far and the interest that earns buys ice creams and afternoon teas.

That's exactly what I use my maximum holding for and any winnings go into my holiday fund.  I'm off to Orlando for my birthday in June 😎

Fabulous.  A bit more exotic than mine - I've just booked 2 x 1 week holidays in a cottage in the UK.  My big holiday will be next year.

Big holding.  I wonder if they know it exists.

56 years ago, I wonder if they are still alive?

If so I doubt they bothered to keep their contact details up to date for the £1 they won nothing on for the last 56 years.

Thre's nothing to say they haven't won with this bond in the past.... maybe their contact details will turn out to be wrong because they invested their previous £1m win on buying an island somewhere.
