    When's the draw date for the smaller prizes in July. Or does it mean that it's already passed so I've won nowt again?

  • interestingly the 2x £1m winners both increased their holdings in February this year, that must feel like the best investment decision ever!

    Only if the winning bond was one of the ones they bought in Feb.
    loose does not rhyme with choose but lose does and is the word you meant to write.

    Are these Premium Bonds all via NS&I?

    Yes, no one else sells them.

    For the record nothing on £30k but £25 each for the kids with £2.5k each. In theory completely as expected

    Both £1 mill winning bonds were bought in February. One was part of a purchase of £20k where they upped their holding from £25 to £20,025. :)

    That £25 could be a re-invested prize from one of the last few draws. So it's possible that the bond owner only purchased in February.

    Hi,
    just get the app, put in holders number and check day after draw.

    So it's like playing the lottery, only it ties up large amounts of your capital and you've even less chance of winning?
