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?

Prize value	Winning Bond	Holding	Area	Bond Value	Purchased
£1,000,000	404KX510146	£1,001	Devon	£1,000	Jul-20

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

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.

I live in Devon and have bonds purchased last year starting 404. Got quite excited until I saw the bond holding of £1,001

A relative bought me £2 of premium bonds when I was born many years ago.

I feel really happy that someone with such a small holding has won the £1m. Hopefully it will really change their life for the better.

I wonder if they even know they’ve won yet....!

They should do - NS&I are proud of their Agent Million(s), visiting winners in person to tell them the good news, which presumably has to be ahead of the numbers being published....

They should have been personally notified by 'Agent Million' last week (most likely over the weekend).

That's a cool business card eh? 'Agent Million' lol.

£50k for me and £50k the OH, nothing for 6 months,also talked to two seperate people last weekend with maximum holdings and both of them have had nothing for many months.

So taking our holding alone thats £100,000 for 6 draws so 600000 entries and not a single £25 win.

If working on 1% £500 would be the average over 6 months or 20 x £25 wins since 99% of prizes are £25.

No way in the world is this random,large holdings recently  get massively lower proportinate wins.

I expect with them knowing they  far exceeded their sales target they are trying to get £50k holders to cash in .

I know after tomorrows smaller wins are made public we will be cashing in.
