    I have £100 worth - bought in Jan 07 and i haven't won anything yet!

    The odds are 24000 to 1 so that gives you a 1 in 240 chance (or once every 5 years) of winning with £100 worth.:eek:

    Try going to NS & I website and type in the bond number top see if it has won!

    It's the Holders Number not the bond number you need to enter.

    Well two people won £10,000 this month with a holding of just £100 each!! One had held them for 16 years, the other 2 years.
    So, it can happen!! :dance:

    Premium bonds for me have been useless so far...

    £1,000 invested back in sept 2005. Winnings £0

    disappointing i know BUT i am only expected to win once every 2 years with that amount of money in. Could of made more than £50 interest in a savings account by now as well but never mind, thats the price you pay to put money in premium bonds.
    Had £80,000 in Savings - All GONE!!! BYE BYE
