    I found on from around 1957 cost of £1. I checked with NS&I and it had never won anything. I actually cashed it in as I wanted to max out my bonds to £50K and I couldn't do that with the lone £1!
    You could have purchased £49,999, or whatever you actually needed, you are not limited to round numbers when topping up to the max.  My final top up was £944.

    Duh I thought they were £25 each! Regretting selling it now - never mind, it didn't come up in 66 years. 
    Same here for me. I had to sell some to pay off an unexpected bill and found the only way you could stipulate which bond numbers to sell was via a form by post. Online it goes for the earliest first. So I lost my ones brought on my birth. Still like you they had never won anything. And I still have the paper bonds as a keepsake!

    You are able to cash in specific bonds online, I did it myself this morning and a few times previous, usually receive payment into my bank within three days. I’ve kept the £25 bond which I’ve had since 1985, for sentimentality as it has never won

    That’s a relatively recent innovation - you always used to have to post the form. I would always check to see if there had been a change before sending off, as my oldest bonds were bought with an inheritance and are sentimental. Perhaps they modernised at around the time they planned to phase out warrants.
