    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 !

    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!!!

    Bet the winner of the first £100k prize is pleased. It's the first draw the Bond has been in!

    Got £50.00 worth since I was 10, bought by my parents, now 45 not won a bean.
  • 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!!

    Have you ever calculated how much compounded interest you have lost

    Good going beats building society interest that you would have received and tax free

    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.

    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 Eagleton
