I'm wondering if anyone else has put their holders number in the prize checker webpage today and got the "sorry no luck this time" message? I wondered if they've updated it a day earlier than expected? I won a prize last month so I'm wondering why it's now changed to this message today?

Mine says 2 days until the next results on 4 January.

Yes mine also says that on the main page, but after I put in my holders number another message appears saying "sorry no luck this time", which is a new message compared to a few days ago as I won a prize in December, so I wondered why it would now show this if it wasn't the Jan result.

I get the same message too, fingers crossed it's just a glitch

well I don’t know if it’s right but I can see January’s high value winners and the two million winners are from Wiltshire and South Yorkshire🤷🏻‍♀️

I just looked at mine and also get the 'sorry no luck this time' message, but when I scroll down it shows my previous winners, but only up to November.  I had a decent win in December and that isn't shown, so the page is clearly a bit muddled just now.  I expect it to start and show something late tonight.

These wins show the 'benefit' of the long haul with PBs. 

£100,000 from a bond of £800 in April 2011.

Or the £1 bond held since 1970 that won £10,000. Mind you they do have a total holding of £2
😁

What's the difference between the 'Holding' and the 'Bond Value'?  Presumably the holding is their total amount of PBs - but is the Bond Value how much was bought in a particular batch that the winning bond was amongst?

Therefore, I wonder if the second million winner, from a bond of £125 was previous winnings ploughed back into new Bonds?

@Polly05 - I don't think the January draw has been announced yet (it's a bit later than usual) - check back late tonight or tomorrow morning.

Spot on. Holding is the total amount held at the time of the draw and the bond value is the value of the number of bonds bought as a block that the winning bond number came from.

Hmm the link I looked at said Januarys winners. Whereas yesterday it said December's winners...

Big winners are announced the day before the lower prizes so Jan big wins today.
