    Last week I won £100 on a £500 bond I bought 25 April 2006 and in the same post was a cheque for my daughter for £50 on her £1,000 bond. :j

    PS: What is the maximum amount of money you can have invested in Premium Bonds?

  • £30,000 is the max.

    Got a nice suprise today with a £50 cheque in the post. :j I didn't bother checking as I prefer the suprise to the knowing in advance. Great start to the financial year though. I travel hopefully.

    Just opened my post and there's another new bond for £50 won...nice surprise !
    That's 3 wins/£200 in the last 5 months and 5 months ago I only had £3K - £4350 now - Much better than putting it in my savings account.

    just cashed in my bonds

    took ages to write out the application form as i had 30 or so certificates

    but the money was paid into my current account in 5 days

    so ill re-invest toward the end of this month and test the theory that new bonds win

    I would urge everyone to do this as each time your money is out of the draw for a month, I have a greater chance of winning a million :rotfl:

    I would be interested to know if this works for you trademark. I am saving my winnings up until I get at least £500 to put in at one go in the theory that this is better than reinvesting the odd £50 at a time.

    ok im back in with 20k for the 1st june prizes

    dan29 , yes your chances of winning now im out for the may draw must be incredibly higher , may as well pack in your day job now.

    i wanted a block of 20,000 consecutive numbers for the 5 million prize draw in june , and i always said id cash and re-invest after 2 no win months , that took nearly 2 years to happen so here we are

    my money , my choice before anyone bleets about every bond having an equal chance of winning
