    Hi all, i have 20,000 in premium bonds and have had no winnings since september. I know that the prize fund has gone down so its harder to win but i was having a lot of luck before with prize average of 150 a month and sept 250. I moved house after the sept draw and since then nothing, surley with my previous luck i should have won at least 50 since? should i email them to make sure everything is alright with my bonds since i moved or just accept my new luck? Thanks

    im probably in the same boat as many others, regularly wining £50 or £100 every month but since the last few months have not won anything for 4 months now.

    i can understand that the interest rate has gone down and now there is a lot less chance of winning so if i win evey 3 months sim happy as i am saving my money for a rainy day.

    ps, we all live in hope of wining the million

    Nothing for the second month in a row, first time I've never won a prize for two consecutive months for many years, boo!

    Assuming you've checked on-line with your holders number, then it's nothing to do with your address, just the luck of the draw...

    The prizes are pretty pathetic now. Decades ago when £25 was the lowest prize, it was considered quite a good sum of money. However, to bring it back now seems totally stupid to me. I want BIG prizes that will change my life.
