    Wife is still getting all the luck - 4x £25 and 1x £50 this month, a total of £150 from her £50k holding. Zero again for me on £50k.

    3 x £25 for me (£32k) and my dad (full). My wife got 4 x £25 on £20k. Lets hope it stays like this with the better odds.

    nothing for me on my 50k holding, not to worry, im sure im gonna win a million next month
    Only a 1 / 54,000,000,000 chance!
    Per £1 bond.   On max holding the chances are a bit better than that!

    Recently discovered an NS&I account with £132 opened for me when I was born by my late gran. Whilst not born in 1957 seems to have been opened then with the odd couple of quid deposited over the decades. Now valued at £132. No traceable wins that I can see unless the 1957 payments were various win payouts (about £1-3) - with deposits in the 70's after my arrival (haha) and a final £100 around the early 90s.

    Nothing since - so Im wondering if no wins - should I top it up (ie is there a minimum to actually get any payout) or simply close it.
    Don't need the money that much - with inflation etc - I dont think Im a premium bond winner from what I can see.

    An NS&I savings account is not specifically a premium bond account which is a separate NS&I account so be sure you,re not confusing the two.

    if it's a premium bond account you should be able to obtain from NS&I a list of the actual bond numbers held.

    if you,re unsure.it may be easier just to close the account due to the relatively low amount held  and then open a new Ernie account later if yiu want to hold bonds again.

    A strange pattern for me with just short of £30k.

    4 x £25 in 2021

    This year at least a win a month with 10 x £25 in total.

    That's probably stuffed me for the rest of the year though!

    Is there a Premium Bond type of savings account abroad that is open to UK residents?

    Email from NS&I today, and I thought 'Is Agent Million making contact by email, now?' 😲 😆
    Sadly, just belated confirmation of the prize fund rate increase etc. 🙄
