Premium Bond Winner ?

Or you can just select to show 'all' and scan through them on the web page without needing to download anything.

I do this, then use find to look for my county and each one it stops on, I check the holding, as I have an odd amount and the date of the holding and move on when it's obviously not me!  Which is every single time.

For anyone new to this, the high value winners are shown on the web page already linked the day before the rest of us get to know and all regular results are available on the date shown (this month 3rd June).  But if you're up late enough, you can check with your Holder Number some time after 23:30 on the day before the date shown (i.e. today).  The date varies a little each month depending on how the days of the week fall - it's always a weekday.

I wrote an Excel spread sheet into which I can paste the entire list from the downloaded file and it automatically tells me whether I have won something! 

Currently it's a bit clunky and I need to re-write it so that it's easier to incorporate new bond purchases.

If I do I could make it available for fellow bondspersons!

I do the same - view list, scan down with help of finger, firstly for county and then in my case for date of bond and then full holding or not. It only takes me about five minutes unless I find a likely candidate and need to get my bond list out to check…hope springs eternal but so far hasn’t produced anything! 

I know it would take me longer to faff around with a spreadsheet but well done to those more technically able!

Surely it's high time that they started releasing all the results on the same day?

I do similar, I download the All Winners List, it opens in Excel, I enable editing, highlight the whole table and custom sort  by Holding, then just scroll down to my holding.  I think your way is quicker but I cannot write my own spreadsheets with Macros and all that., to tell the truth, have never tried but I do ponce about with Excel quite a bit but that is only for personal budgets and stuff..  A couple of years ago, it would take me 2 hours to check through from £1M down to the £1000's, going through a couple of million results, then I got quicker by an hour, I would conditional format sort by location to highlight London.  The way I do it now only takes less than 2 mins, like I said, not as quick as you but quick enough for me.

They manage to release high value winners at 00:01 on a Saturday where that is the 1st, but never on a Sunday - neither are working days.

Months starting with a Sunday or Bank Holiday just add an extra day of delay.

My £30k holding got me £25 this month.
OH holding £37k got £200. He wins something every month. 

I'm closing my account in favour of getting a loft conversion and adding £50k onto the value of our home instead.

I would consider leaving £1 (or £25 if that is the minimum to keep the account open) - then you won’t have the risk of needing to jump through ID hoops etc should you need a tax free savings vehicle in future.

Whenever I have no premium bonds - like now - the account stays open on my NS&I dashboard, even if I've selected "close account" when withdrawing the full balance. It once stayed like that with a zero balance for four years before I bought some more bonds.

The delay is annoying.

Mine is showing ... but it's for May!  If you've got June then the lowest prize is £5000.... good luck!
