Does anyone else hold an uncommon number of bonds e.g. 49991 to make it easier to locate themselves (or not!) in the big winners list each month?

It does seem that Premium Bonds affect many people's ability to think and act rationally so you may not be alone!

You can save the big winner's list as a Microsoft Excel file and filter for number range. Er..not that I've ever done it of course...oh no...not me...no sir...!!

I've filtered by area of the country - works better if you are in a relatively sparsely populated area. 

I've an uncommonish number because we use them as working capital, and all prizes are reinvested. I take out round numbers, so it always ends in a 5 or a 0.

Good luck everyone.

My best month to date at £350 on £22k holding.  3 x £100 and 1 x £50.  Brings my rolling year total return to 7.04%.  41 prizes in total in 26 draws, only 6 blank months.  This month's prize covers the price of a lens I just bought, which I was feeling a bit guilty about.

If I log into my account it shows no prizes for June but 4 x £50 for May. If I log into prize checker it says £25 for May but nothing for June. Confused. 

Edit. This morning it says June instead of May.

£150 on £25K. Won something on each of the 5 draws I’ve been in so far, so happy with that. 🙂
