Premium Bond Winner ?

  • 3x £25 = £75 on 50k.

    Only my third month holding bonds, but got 2x £25 in both months 1 & 2, so £175 total so far.

    I should probably do something else with the money, but I do like their suspenseful app animation each month :D
  • 3 X £25 on £50K this month
  • £50k for 3 months now. Zilch. Worse than several years back when I got dribs and drabs every month on £30k then £500 at the same time I closed the account for withdrawal.

    Can I just ask if anyone here has ever won a prize larger than £500?

    Hunter Davis did a feature a couple of months ago on the jackpot Premium Bond winners, in the Sunday Times, Money section.

    Most people keep it quiet, it seems, and the NS&I representatives are so discreet, they won't even tell the spouse, unless the winner lets them.

    So, the only clue that I have won the jackpot is, I won't be posting on this thread any more. Technically, if I won £1million, and I posted £50, that would be lying, and I don't get to Heaven.
  • I have £30 of Premium Bonds that my mother bought for me when I was a child in 1963.
    since then I have won zilch on them.

    First month for my holding of £50k and a big fat 0

    Obviously a bit slow updating the account for the first month I've actually won 2 x £25 very happy with that.

    Chances of 0 wins on £30 over 648 months are approx. 1 in 2 so average luck.
