Premium Bond Winner ?

Lopo

Just curious, how many of you out there have the winnings automatically re-invested on a rolling monthly basis ? Or do you wait to receive the winnings, and then spend it(!!), pehaps even then buy more bonds with it soon after...

Just curious ?

I've never won either. Winning £50 from a £100 investment a couple of months ago is great!

I have the cheques sent to me, then normally if i have a bit of money they get re-invested.

I prefer to receive the money then I can decide what to do with it. Maybe next time i win i might treat the Mrs to something.:whistle:

Spot on. Most cheque theft / fraud occurs through mail intercepts. Unless you're getting your prizes re-invested .. you should always check. Otherwise the 'nice surprise' might be someone elses?

Two £50's for me this month.:T

Also struck lucky last month with three £50's.

Not as good as around 10 years ago when I won £1000 tho but here's hoping.

They interviewed someone from PB's yesterday on our local radio - apparently the bond numbers are drawn one week before the end of the month to give them time to check them. The £1M winners are visited in person on the last working day of month and there are two people employed to do that job.

Best to know in advance whats due to you and raise it accordingly should the postie service lose it en route

A humble £50 win for me this month.

Good point never really thought of that!

However I`ve had really poor returns on £12,000.

So it`s off to ICE for me.
