Premium Bond Winner ?

fannyadams

I have held £14 since I was very little (nearly 40 years - watch it!)
and NEVER won anything!
I consider this to be a really poor return (I mean with the 3% thing I should have at least won 42p, or is it 3% per annum in which case I should have won at least £17.00 - oooh careful) investment. However, I am considering the purchase of the minimum amout (£100) for the nippers. Assuming that I can prove where I live and who I am!! Damn these money laundering rules!!
I didn't know about the monthly investment thingy though - it looks interesting.

Highly likely to win sometime in the next 80 years... Could be less, interest rates/prize fund have been higher in the past so you could probably expect to have won £25 or so - around half way there!

Won,I can`t remember how much,a prize over 30 years ago with a £12 holding.Invested £25,000 for first draw in January and have had £400 back so far.Don`t see it as much more than a bit of fun.

And did you see that someone from County Antrim won £50000 on a £65 investment?!

Well I got £100 in this one and then from June my other £1000 will be eligible, but I know i can't spend it unless i want to go to the hassle of drawing it out and I may get something out of it, so good luck everyone!!!!

Heh, in the big winners list:
£5,000 1DF489542 £6 Essex £4 Nov-56

I'd take a guess that's the first prize he's won with the £6 of bonds, nice 50th year reward

Just looking down the list, the oldest that the bonds whove won was 94 - seems pretty odd to me

Never mind, will be buying some anyway lol

Weird, I checkerd last night and it said:

The Premium Bond prize checker shows any prizes you may have won in May and . . . . .

and now its saying:

The Premium Bond prize checker shows any prizes you may have won in April and . . . .

Must have been a glitch last night you think? and that they haven't been updated yet.

Yeah, well spotted Andy.

I checked online last night and it defo said "May". Unhappily, I found I'd won nothing this month, which left me half hoping that it was a c0ck- up since they don't normally update that part of the website till 3 days after the big winners have been announced (4th May, incl bank holiday).

I'm still hoping that the databse hasn't been fully updated and I've still won at least 50 quid!

Come on Ernie - it's just 50 smackers!

Its alsways said April for me so here's hoping!
