    Good for you - I invested another whole £100 yesterday!! I think you need to have at least £5000 before you get anywhere by the looks of the big winners but you've got to be in it to have any chance so keeping my fingers crossed. Well done!

    Lea37 thats fantastic news, thats just given me a little more faith in them.

    I have just put another £1500 in, so here hoping in July.

    So if you win anything more than the 50, £500, £1000, they send you a letter within the first few days of the month?

    I assume so. We got it on the 3rd by recorded delivery. It was really weird, very factual, not much fanfare. My fella rang me and told me and I thought he was having me on or it was a mistake so I went on the internet checker thing and put in his number and it said that he had won £50 in April but didn't mention the £100,000 so I told him it was wrong but he checked on teletext and it was there. The internet one must not have updated yet.

    :)

    have won £100 this month (May) and I do like the investment and fun you get from PB's, others talk of high interest accounts but you look in the local banks and BS and their nothing to write home about so give me the fun factor and the chance to win big every time.
    best wishes deepseeker :rotfl:

    The internet one updated on the 4th, because of the bank holiday. Details should be on there now.

    My partner originally bought £1000 of Premium Bonds less than 3 years ago. A month later he bought another £5000. Since then he's had five wins of £50 which we were quite happy with.
    This month he rang me up on the 3rd to tell me that a letter had come saying he had won £100,000!
    I thought he was having me on but it was true!
    It was also from the first block of a £1000 that he bought!
    We reinvested £24,000 in Premium Bonds straight away and are thinking of me getting some too.
    I used to listen to the conspiracy theories and wonder if it was worth keeping them in but now I can answer definitively.
    KEEP THEM IN!!!
    It could be one of you guys next!
    Sorry for the silliness but I'm still giddy about it.
    Who knows, could be the million next month!


    How fantastic! I bet you celebrated. I was giddy winning my first £50 so I'd probably pass out if I won something that big!

    It's kind of weird to be honest. It didn't hit me for a couple of days and then I just thought "Wow! That's a LOT of money!" I'll be sat doing something else and that just keeps popping into my head.
    We haven't really celebrated yet as I'm really busy with some other stuff but as soon as that's done we are going to go on our first holiday in 4 years.
    I did do the giddy dance though.
    :D
