Premium Bond Winner ?

Mr_Prudent

One of the 1 million pound winners purchased £8K in April 2013 ( 16 months ago) It looks as though they have since won £175 in bonds making their total holding £8175 before hitting the jackpot this August! Some people are born lucky!!

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.

the prize fund is £3.5m bigger though so there are more £25 winners than there were before.

Looks like 3x £25 for me, by checking my online account (draw checker only showing up to July's draw as far as I can see). If that's indeed the case, it makes it a great run over the past few months .

where do you check the small prizes? The main page (nsandi) still do not have the option for the August draw.

This gets asked regularly if you register on the NSand I site you will find out whether you have won a couple of days before the winners page is updated. You will also have the option of having your winnings paid into your bank direct which happens at least a week before the cheques get sent out in the pot luck postal system

If you register online you can go in and check your account - prizes show there before before they go onto the website
