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 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.

I’m always curious as to how they distinguish between those living in “London” and “Inner London” or “Outer London” or when it’s a specific London Borough like Barnet and Croydon.

For large towns and cities that are divided into local authorities or boroughs, we quote the area with the fewest customers over the 100,000 reporting limit. This may mean the list quotes a local authority area or borough instead of the town or city

Thank you. That explains Croydon and Barnet. 

But how do we explain Inner London and Outer London v those just recorded as London?

Yep, you are all correct!  It is showing May's results.  But I definitely checked my results in May on the app, same day my husband did.

Will it show our results at 00:01 then? 
Is it 3rd they send emails too, or is that later? What a palava. 

But clearly, we all love it 😂

In the past I regularly could see results after about 23:30, but it would for example, show my June winnings, but say they were for May - that would change to June after midnight.  But I can tell from any winning bond number which it is. 

But the last couple of months mine didn't show until the following morning and others reported the same - maybe they now release them in tranches.

Just checked at 11:30 pm and I’ve won 3 prizes totalling £150 this month, June, but it’s showing as May.

I won £275 in May, 4 prizes.

I used the prize checker via the NS&I website rather than the app.

Congratulations @GalacticaActual

I've just seen mine too - on the web site - a mere £25 - not had a single £25 for about 3 years.  With nothing last month, that has seriously dropped my rolling return to 3.295% - I've not gone below a bit over 4.5% before - most of the time I've been between 5.5% and 7%.  Maybe my better than average return has come to an end.
