    Wow... someone has won £10,000 with a holding of just £20 since 1979 😃
    I seen one with a £25k win with a £14 holding,
    think it was 1976

    Looks like I am owed a few then as I have only ever won 1 £500 prize in 134 months :(
    A year ago, and for some time before that, rates were so low that you'd have expected to win a £500 prize once in 23 years and £1000 once in a century with full holding, so you've actually done pretty well.

    I've only ever had one £100 win, never anything better.

    I received a letter from NS&I today - dated 9th November, 2022

    I'm still waiting payments requested on the 4th January, 2023.

    Anyone else having these problems?

    NS&I do seem to have an odd way of handling paperwork - it never quite seems to make sense. I've had issues recently with opening a guaranteed income bond and just now with an estate account I'm trying to finalise.  They never seem to explain what's happening or what to expect.

    Huh! Don't get me going on managing estates!  I sent NS&I a notification, including an original Death Certificate of my wife's death, last Autumn.  They locked her accounts - including joint accounts.
    These joint accounts currently pay me no interest.  So, what happened to the principle of Survivorship?
