    Awesome win that Galactica!  

    I have found in the app that the prizes seem to be revealed in ascending value order.
    Thank you. That’s good to know about the ascending order of prize reveals. It will make it more interesting should I win more than one prize again! 🤞

    Congrats, well done. It will be interesting to see if they pay your directly or if their jobsworths make you fill in one of their forms.

    They pay out according to the options a bond holder has chosen - no form filling if you’ve kept them up to date on preferences, it’s either re-investment or direct deposit to a bank account.

  • Some context on my winnings this month:

    £1,000 prize was from a £5,400 batch purchased in 2015 // £2,050 won in total // 31 prizes so far.
    £100 prize was from a £1,000 batch purchased in 2002 // £425 won in total // 11 prizes so far.
    £50 prize was from a £4,000 batch purchased in 2020 // £250 won in total // 9 prizes so far.
    £25 prize was from a £50 batch purchased in 2005 // first prize won // 1 prize so far.

    Nothing yet from a £1 bond purchased in 1970 and a £5 bond purchased in 1978. 🤔 ;)

     Nice one Galactica  Just an aside, your avatar reminds me of a recent headline making ITV  person.
    Thanks!

    The avatar selection was purely coincidental - I just selected one at random from the new MSE collection:

    I’m sure it’s ‘!!!!!! van Dyke’

    Congratulations on your June win, puts my £850 in the shade! Keep hold of that £5,400 batch from 2015 since it looks like a 'hot spot' for winning!

    1 x £100 for me this month on 27k.  This is my biggest win having bought 20k worth of bonds in September 22 and adding another 7k a couple of months ago.
    My running total for winnings is £325
