Well I’ve had an E-mail today to say I’ve won.
I presume it’s telling me about October’s draw

Strange goings on with the notifications.
Wife & I normally get winner notifications by email a few days after the draw one after the other.
This month I received my notification as normal.
The wife's came through a few minutes ago today.
Very odd.

There's a second round of notifications mid-month, where ineligible 'winners' in the main draw are cancelled and the prizes reallocated to others.

I received my notification letter yesterday (20th October) but the details of the prizes were showing when I checked my account on 2/10 and the money was in my bank account on 9/10, so late notification email was nothing to do with "new" allocations.

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.

You can elect to have wins automatically paid directly into your bank account without needing to make a claim.

What's the point of the email if they don't tell you how much you've won. You still have to go and look it up.

Well, it’s all part of the anticipation isn’t it! 😆

At the risk of getting lynched by the way, I somehow managed to nab a £100 win this month….on a £190 holding! 🤣 reckon that’s the best return I’m ever likely to get on them!

I'd say that's more cause for a celebration than a lynching - great stuff!

I'm late on parade this month with a £500 win - 4 x £50 and 3 x £100.

That's the best month for me ever on £47k holding.

Husband had £50 on £26k holding.  November will be his last monthly draw so fingers crossed he leaves us with a nice legacy.

Congratulations to the lucky person who won £5000 in the November draw with a holding of £1

I can’t remember the last time I wasted money on lottery tickets or scratch cards, I've a cash bond maturing in a few days, I’m very tempted to get back in to premium bonds.

Evening.  I think I'm first to post again - I always check as I'm heading to bed.

A single £100 prize for me this month on £22k holding.  Running year total now £1300 = 5.9%, so I'm pretty satisfied with that.  It's perhaps a smidge higher return in reality, just over 6%, as I only held £20k for 5 of the 12 months.
