Thanks Kazzafor link, just checked and won a £100, first time for ages well chuffed, a few minutes before coming on line, counted £2 coins in Grandsons money box (£198) and said to hubby we will buy him premium bonds, then add came on for birthday draw and there going to be £5million extra prize. So heres hoping our little one is lucky .:hello:What goes around - comes around
give lots and you will always recieve lots0 -
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?I am a Kitchen Designer!0 -
£30,000 is the max.0

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.0

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.0 -
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 win0 -

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:.0 -
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.0

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 winning0 -
