    My grandmother gave me £1000 in 1959.

    I've had just one win of £1000 in 1980 so i then bought £500 more :)

    :( Have had no wins since.

    Must be my turn again soon!?! :rotfl:

    Should be. Obviously the past doesn't affect the future, but your chances of winning in any given month are 1 in 15, and you should win on average three times every five years. I tried to work out the odds of having won nothing at all since 1980 and they broke my computer.

    I got as far as that your chances of not winning anything at all for ten years are just over 1 in 5000. You passed the one in a million against mark in 1996.

    You definitely haven't moved house and not told them?!
    Hurrah, now I have more thankings than postings, cheers everyone!
  • i won £50 about 20 years ago from 5 bonds

    I was given £100 worth in 1950 and have NEVER had any wins! :confused:

    Premium Bonds were not launched until 1956 with the first draw taking place in June 1957 hence the recent 50th Anniversary draws.

    I have just got my winnings of £50 in the post. I never check my numbers for the small winnings and I can't think of a nicer way to start a Monday. Not bad to win in January there are 11 more months to go!:j
  • Well done, I get one of £50 every month.....I pay for it though!!

    I love that sort of news halloweenqueen it's the reason my bonds are staying where they are.

    I've always wondered what if an individual holder won both the big £1m prizes from different bonds of course,...do nsandi then step in and redraw one of the big winnings or would they permit the double win meaning Agent Millionaire gets an extra day off that month!
