    I actually won £350 this month.   This is the most I've ever won in a month so 😁

    Hadn’t got round to looking at the prize checker but as I haven’t received an E-mail was going to report nil this month.
    Imagine my surprise to see 2 x £100 and 4 x £50 in my bank this morning!

    Pulled out full holding after back to back blanks. Even when I was winning it was never more than guaranteed interest.

    Reporting my October results quite late! Holding nearly £40K
    I had a good win of £250 (50,100,100). Total so far for the year is now £1,350.
    Only 2 draws remaining for the year now with the next one around 2 weeks to go.
    Hopefully it gives us a bit of luck just in time for Christmas as it can be an expensive time for many of us!
    Save £12,000 in 2024: £17,500 out of £12,000.
    Save £12,000 in 2025: £0 out of £12,000.
  • I wonder if the theory comes about because people move house and forget to give Ernie a forwarding address, so their premium bond winnings go unclaimed?

    Well done. This thread is dominated by those with max holdings, so it's great to hear from anyone with a sub £1K holding - are you withdrawing or adding it to your holding?

    If you,re a person who moves hiuse fairly regularly for whatever reason and only have a low holding it,s far better to arrange for any wins to be added to your holding with extra bonds.  Avoids the risk of any prizes going unclaimed if you forget to notify NS&I of a change of address.

    If they'd just asked for everyone's NI number they'd have no problem finding the current address of people with unclaimed prizes.
