Yes, that's right - the draw we're all talking about is March 2024 - the draws take place at the start of the month.

Does it! Never knew that!  So for 2024 so far we have had 3 draws?

Yes 3 draws, 2 have been notified and paid, 3rd you have to go and check at this stage for yourself.

Yes, that's correct @david29dpo - 3 draws so far in 2024.  I was trying to find where it might give details on the NS&I site, but haven't found a specific reference to the date of the draw.  Found it - was a smidge hidden:  https://www.nsandi.com/help/manage-your-savings/premium-bonds-prizes

You can check if you've won here - it usually appears about 11:30pm on the day of the draw:  https://www.nsandi.com/prize-checker

Someone was asking if you could download earlier draw data (sorry, can't just find the post) and I did find a place where you could download just the numbers from previous draws.

Sorry to sound dumb so,  So far this year 2024, i won Jan Fab and March. i thought the Jan win was for Dec 2023, Feb draw was for Jan and March draw was for Feb!

zero this month (had a run of those last year, hope it’s not starting again). However looking at the big winners it does seem as if the majority are with bonds bought recently, I.e. within the last five years. Do you think it’s because the random draw machine favours these numbers or simply that more bonds have been bought over that period?
