    Can anybody explain to me how the size of the bonds you buy in one go can affect your chances? e.g. is better to buy £200 a month or wait and buy £1000 every 5 months? So confused! appreciate any help :)
    The earlier you buy bonds the earlier they are entered into the draw - so by delaying buying them for 5 months you are losing 5 months' worth of chances of winning a prize.

    The number of bonds you buy in a block makes no difference to the chance of winning
    loose does not rhyme with choose but lose does and is the word you meant to write.

    I am in. Decided to put a £850 into Premium Bonds to start with.

    Also going to drip £200 a month in from April and see what happens.

    May the winning nothing commence.

    Where do you check for February prizes? NSANDI site and app only show January at the moment

  • If you sign into your account, you will see if you have won a prize.
    Click on 'Prize History' on the LHS.
    It isn't necessarily the final total, as prizes may continue to accumulate until the website is updated with the completed prize list for February.
