    The results from the draw are normally available on-line from the 3rd working day of the month, and as today (3/6/08) is the 2nd working day; don't worry, you might still all be millionaires tomorrow ;)


    Wrong in many ways...the "results" ie. large prizes million - 5k are almost always shown on the 1st. its not difficult to see if you have a big win coming by checking the location,holding and date purchased of the wins against your own details!

    People above are reffering to the small prizes, ie. 1k - £50 which are available to view anywhere from just past midnight on the 2nd of the month onwards,depending on the fall of the 1st of course

    We were, in the main, above (as I'm sure you are aware :rolleyes:) discussing the on-line checker, and people logging on to check if their holders number had any wins "this month", and therefore my post is correct, rather than being "wrong in many ways".

    I quote from the NS&I website: "We normally update information on prize-winning Bonds by the third working day of each month."

    Dont really fit into everyones 'league' but i have held £13 in PB since 1972 and never won a single penny. I dont know how much £13 would have increased in savings in 36 years but im sure it would have been worth a lot more than it is now!
    Original Mortgage £68,000
    Current Mortgage £ nil!!
    Est Mortgage free date [strike]Oct[/strike][strike]AUG[/strike] [strike]NOV 2008[/strike]oct 2008 We're FREEEEEEEEEE!
