    Remember reading somewhere that an individual bond can be drawn multiple times in a single month, but you will only ever receive one prize - and there is no way of knowing either!

    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!

    There is no reason why one PB holder could win the two million prizes with two different bonds. Given the very small probabilities, I very much doubt that it would happen in several lifetimes.
    In case you hadn't already worked it out - the entire global financial system is predicated on the assumption that you're an idiot:cool:

    Improbable,...but not impossible - will be some crazy odds as mentioned! Unless of course it does oddly happen and they intervene here too.

    going back, if an individual bond wins multiple prizes...intervention does take place, from T&C's...

    "13. If a £1 Bond unit is drawn more than once in a draw it will be allocated the highest prize for which it is drawn."

    Winning multiple £100's in a month clearly is quite different from winning both £1m, Can it happen? !!

    Prob not something that people note, but in one month I had won 4x100's of which 2x were only the last digit different from each other.

    Out of curiosity, has anyone here ever encountered a particular individual bond number that noticeably has won them many prizes over many months?

    had mine 41 years not won a sausage
  • Hi
    Always had an interest in Premium bonds but have never had the real chance till now to get any.

    Over the last 2 and half years a have bought 11950 bonds and took a step to have them all put together as a group.

    Last year they won 450 pounds which were all re invested ... february draw saw me lucky enough to get 2 prizes of 50 and 5000.

    So for me it was a good choice.
