    Nothing to report from this month yet, but saw that someone from Glasgow has won £25k
    on a £1 bond bought in 1964, and their total holding is £4!

    Brilliant:T

    Then there's still hope for me.

    I've held £18 since 1956. Needless to say, I've never won anything, but I can dream :rotfl:

    That's 18 times my holding and you've held them ~3 years longer! That must mean you've had 18 times the winnings I've had, doesn't it? :rotfl:

    Go on, lend us a fiver out your (non) winnings - pretty please.

    I have temporarily put some of my inheritance into Premium Bonds and have the full £50k amount (previously had £1). This is my first month in which the £50k is eligible and I won £25 :)

    My mistake - I read February 2013 as February 2018 in my excitement!

    Yep my mistake, I logged in and saw a prize of £25 against February 2013 but read the 2013 as 2018 - that'll teach me to not read things properly :D

    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
