Premium Bond Winner ?

Not sure what's more annoying, this thread getting bumped a day before the small prize results come out or having to wait for the 2nd of month for the results

Someone with just a £1k holding won a million?

DoctorStrange

Forgive what may be a daft question, but I'm curious as to what the "Bond Value" represents on the NS&I prize page?

Prize value	Winning Bond	Holding	Area	Bond Value	Purchased
£25,000	219PN543473	£21,900	Suffolk	£25	Apr-14

So someone who has £21.9k invested has won £25k, but what does the "Bond Value" of £25 represent? I thought each "bond" (i.e. number) was worth £1?

Yeah, lucky so and so!

£1k invested a year ago - 100,000% return

It means they bought a block of 25 individual £1 bonds at the same time.

Thank you,

So how does one end up with a holding of £1001 if the min prize is £25 and £1000 was bought in a block?

The £1 will be an old purchase from before the minimum block size was introduced, unrelated to prizes....

Or they could have held separate 2 blocks of £1,000 and sold £999.

Where do you find all this info? I've just got an app on my phone that says "yes" or "no"

Yes most likely they had an ancient £1 paper bond and then bought £1,000 last year.
