Premium Bond Winner ?

13. If a £1 Bond unit is drawn more than once in a draw it will be allocated the highest prize for which it is drawn.
Above snippet from the nsandi site....
Improbable.....but imagine the statistical odds of winning EVERY prize with a single £1 bond should a given bond be permitted to win multiple times per monthly draw!
Wonder also how many bonds "may" have technically won many prize draws....and never been received as a result of the rule.
Oooer !0 -

i have had £24 since 1972 and it has won nothing. i have just bought my children £1100 each which should be in the august draw. I intend to buy more, this is the childrens family allowance which i am saving for them for when they need it. i'm hoping they should have around £10k each by the time they leave home (they are only 7months and 3years) I'm hoping that in the process I might win a million!!!0

I bought a £5000 bond in March 2005. So far to date on that bond have won 4 x £50 and £2 x £100. Not bad, but would be even more happy with a big prize - £5k and above of course!!There is nothing I can be, do or HAVE!!!!!!!!

We had £3k invested between us from 1998-2004.
Hubby won £100 x 1 and £50 x 2 during that time. I won nothing.
Cashed them in in 2004 as we needed the money.
Bought £1000 worth of new ones in January 2005. I won £50 in May 2005.
Bought £2000 worth in September 2005, neither of us have won anything else.
Bought our son £100 worth in March 1998 - he won £100 in May 1998! (Nothing since though).
Still, we live in hope and we don't buy lottery tickets or scratchcards.(AKA HRH_MUngo)

Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology: Terry Eagleton0
