https://web.archive.org/web/20081204082245/http://www.nsandi.com/press-room/premiumbonds50/history_pb.jsp is an old page which includes changes to the minimum number:

1956 - £1
1972 - £2
1976 - £5
1993 - £100

I don't know if there were others as well as these, as £5 to £100 in one jump seems steep!

Best get used to it, according to https://premiumbondsprizes.com/detailed#7400 you should only expect prizes in three months per year, with average luck and current prize fund distribution!

£1150 this month on FH (1x £1000, 1x £100, 1x £50)

Other draws since I started having Premium Bonds (all with full holding):
July 2025: £325 (3x £100, 1x £25)
June 2025: £25
May 2025: £75 (1x £50, 1x £25)

A surprisingly decent amount of luck!

I believe there may have been a £25 minimum prior to 1993 as my Business Studies teacher mentioned a £25 minimum in 1996, not realising the minimum had been increased to £100. Certainly £10 worth could be purchased as late as 1987, as I was bought £10 of bonds by my parents in that year. Of course the minimum has been put back to £25 now.

I was bought a £10 bond (which until 2018 was my entire holding) in November 1992.

Morning, what no comments on the 1M pound winners? It wasn't me. will have to wait until tomorrow to check.

No big prizes for me either. Looks like I'll have to wait at least a month until I retire...

Congratulations to the person in Bedfordshire who has £4 in Premium Bonds and won £10,000. Only had to wait from 1963 to now for the win. Hopefully NS&I has up to date contact details for them.
