To my surprise, a £1,000 win today! Nearly fell off my chair, it's on a bond i only bought in February as well, talk about luck.

The most recent bonds must be near the top when they make the lucky dip 😀

Last month and also upon checking today, I have noticed that my nominated account was showing as "National Savings and Investments ****4808". I called NS&I last month when this happened and asked how my nominated account had changed to this "4808" account which was not what I originally specified (I had set it to pay into my own Direct Saver). The helpdesk person changed it back to my Direct Saver but no explanation was given as to why it had changed to an account I did not even have. I have changed it back myself today hoping that this month's winnings is paid in correctly.

The account number for all NS&I Direct Savers ends in 4808 as that’s the sort code and account number that’s used if you want to set up a regular payment from a different bank to your Direct Saver. The reference number is then your Direct Saver account number. 

There’s no need to change anything as mine shows that 4808 account number too. It did last month and my prizes were paid in on the 8th February. I expect my prizes this month will be credited tomorrow 8th March.

I agree, mine shows 4808 and my winnings are paid into my direct saver account each time on the 8th of the month and have done for the last 6 years

I can't answer your question but know a while back I must have tried a dozen times on the system to have any winnings paid direct into my bank account rather than being sent a paper warrant.   There was a faulton the system which made the instructions inactive.  In the end I had to phone somebody at NS&I (and that was an epic journey!) to get the instruction activated manually.     It must be a very large system and they probably don't have sufficient IT staff to keep on top of it.

Just received an email that my 14 year old son, who has £100 holding, just won a prize.  Don't know what it is yet.

Luck of the draw :-)
This month, nothing for my wife or myself. both on max holding BUT £50 for my elderly mother, 93 years of age, who is in a registered care home with severe dementia. She has just £1,000 in holding; I am so happy for her but sad that she is completely unaware of her luck. :-(
