I've just logged onto the website and it still says "next results due 2nd Nov" and no winnings showing.
Does this mean we haven't won anything? (its our first draw with £40k)
Well, just logged in, as no notification, and its a big fat 0 on £40,000 holding.
Oh, well, better luck next time.How's it going, AKA, Nutwatch? - 12 month spends to date = 2.60% of current retirement "pot" (as at end May 2025)0 - 
            Changed my car earlier this year and when I emptied the various compartments of loose change (£1 and £2 coins, plus a few notes) that had been thrown in there it was just over £300. I topped this up to £500 and bought some bonds in May (just in time to miss the June entry). So far winnings

To be fair, you had extremely good luck to even win the £25 on a £500 holding.

Findings £300 of loose change is lucky in itself!Swipe said:

Just out of curiosity, do you have other holdings beyond that £500, or was your £10K built up over multiple prizes? The high-value prize winners list has all £10K winners holding at least £4K but none of the £5K winners were from a newish £500 purchase either - are you not on that list?IvanOpinion said:Changed my car earlier this year and when I emptied the various compartments of loose change (£1 and £2 coins, plus a few notes) that had been thrown in there it was just over £300.

Good question. I bought them under my wife's name; she has told me that she is not aware of any other bonds - maybe it is time to get her to check properly (might have even more to declareeskbanker said:
