    I've invested £9k for 5 months and haven't won a sausage, how long until August info is updated?

    As soon as it is confirmed I have won nothing, I'll be withdrawing it all and sticking in a savings account.

    1 x £100 & 1 x £25 for me in August so far....

    I say 'so far' as Ive had a few times where more show up after about 3-4 working days.

  • Logged in to my on-line account at around lunch time and no wins showing for August. I was feeling a bit gutted and I thought I will just check one more time and now I have 1 x £25! Feeling a bit happier now.

    Haven't won anything for ages:(

    It really is a poor investment, but I just live in hope for one of the big prizes.

    Do you think anyone would actually post it on here if they won a million?

    I signed up for an online account so i'm now able to see my win online. Can anyone tell me when they pay it direct into the nominated bank account? I wondered whether it will be any sooner than when they issue the warrants.

    For me the payment usually lands in the nominated account around the 8th-10th of the month, quicker than it took for the warrants to arrive.

    Just received an email from NS&I regarding the new prize money distribution. This extract says it all.


    # "We will allocate 7% of the prize fund to higher value prizes, 5% to medium value prizes and 88% to lower value prizes (previously 5%, 4% and 91% respectively)"

    This means that the chances of winning a £25 prize has become even more remote. Many would have preferred that the extra £1 Million prize money had been distributed among the lower prizes. The occasional win of even the paltry £25 would be an incentive to keep the bonds.
    :(
    Trying to learn something new every day.

    Can't see why not unless they post under their actual name?
