Premium Bond Winner ?

SallySunshine

The 2 winners of this months 1m prizes bought their bonds in Jan and Feb this year! Having said that one winner stuck 50k in and won, how jammy is that!

2 winners in the last two months have either lived in my county or neighbouring county hoping it's me with the hatrick next month :-)

Had 50k for 4 years. I cashed out last month after never having 'won' a penny. Invested elsewhere. 

£50k for 4 years and no "winnings"... I'm not sure, but I do not think this is statistically possible ????????...you need to check the address you gave them, or your bank details???

Check the Daily Mail, Money, then Savings & Investments. On the right hand side it gives you all the info on  this months Winners from 1m down to 1k.
Us lesser mortals have to check the app usually a day later.
Very interesting to see large sum winners starting with bond no’s 4 or 3
seem to have bought either 2020 or 2021.

Sure it’s just luck!

I use the official NS&I page. Click on "per page" and all and in Windows you can search for things like your county.

No wins on maximum investment yet again. My daughter, although she has fewer bonds than me, got 4 x £25 prizes.

I don't feel lucky at all

It is statistically possible, but very unlucky. It is statistically possible to never win in a random draw with fewer prizes than bonds. I would certainly want to verify there was no mistake, as you suggest, or by logging in and checking the prize history, given the low probability of such an outcome.
