    The Premium Bonds prize fund rate will increase from 3.00% to 3.15%, effective from the February 2023 prize draw. 
    Direct saver and Income bonds up to 2.6% too

    not too bad

    That's smashing, thanks for reporting it.  I can see when the PBs will increase (I doubt that 0.15% will trouble me too much - I'm not even close to 3% as it is) but it doesn't mention in any of the news reports I've seen, when the Income Bonds and Direct Saver rates increase - is it from today?

    All good for me - my PB and IB gains go into my holiday fund - so 0.3% more from IBs is enough to make me really sick on my holibobs from too much ice cream.   B)

    Mil won £25000 in 2014. They were old bonds, not sure how much she had in there at that point.

    Yes, hope it changes their life in a positive way.  I can remember the time as a child when winning £75,000 on the pools would literally set you up for life.   Now winning £100,000 won't even pay off most peoples' mortgages.  Thankfully inflation is not yet so high it won,t pay for a decent meal out to go and celebrate!

    The big prizes are listed on the day of the draw - the prize notification in your account is as you say the second day after the draw.

    Thank you for the helpful links.  It looks as I have not won any of the prizes of £5,000 and over.  IF, when I check tomorrow, I find that I have won a £25 prize it will  be really welcome.  If not ,,,  ,,,  maybe next month!

    Pleased for all the successful prize winners.
