1x £50 for me and £575 for other half - 1x £500, 1x£50, 1x£25.  Both hold 50k each. If I’m nice other half may share  😂

That is correct.  

Last month Prize £1000/£100/£100/£25 and then this month £500/£25/£25

March was £25/£25 but I won nothing in Feb.  £34K holding at the time.

I hope you appreciate how lucky it is that you should win £1000 and £500 in consecutive months, especially on less than a full holding. I'm hoping for £500 one day but don't expect to live long enough to win a £1,000 prize. Hell, £100 would be good!

Is the android checker app not working for anyone else or is it just me? (I know I can't check today)

Uninstall and reinstall fixed it.

I saw this notification and thought someone was going to update on meeting Agent Million!

Just checked the June 2023 high value prizewinners spreadsheet - nothing for me and I doubt I'll get much if anything of the piddly prizes when I check my app at midnight. As someone eloquently put in iin a recent post I saw elsewhere ...

Premium bonds might be tax free. But the return is less than a 'normal' account after tax. Tax free and inefficient is what premium bonds are.

I will wait until I see a one year fixed 5.5% bond next month and my 50k will go there. With gross interest rates reaching 5.5% or even above next month you have to be pretty silly to leave large amounts in Premium Bonds now - those days are gone!

Someone's won £10K on a £2 bond held since Feb 1959 - no other holdings!

I wish I could think of £1,000 as 'piddly'. Or even £100 come to that.

I wonder if they'll ever be traced to receive their winnings.
