    It fascinates me looking through the winners list - someone won £100k on a £50 bond from July - I bet that was a reinvested win.  One of the million prizes were from a batch only bought in February.  The £1 holder that won £25k mentioned above was from 1960. Plus another won £5k with a £4 holding from 1978.  I hope these long term holders get their money and have kept up to date with their NS&I accounts and contact details.  I suspect maybe not though - perhaps bought for them as children.  I think there was a £5k win for a £25 holding only bought recently, I bet that was for a new baby or child.

    I didn't feature though!

    Yes ne hopes the new baby details are kept up to date and bring a lucky windfall. Apparently a lot of childrens trust fund saving investments have now matured and gone unclaimed.

    64 year old £1 holding, unfortunately the likelihood is it will never be claimed. :(

    My Uncle would have been a similar age when his single premium bond won a prize, though his prize was a singular £25

    Does anyone have a list of the locations listed ? I'm in North Wales but never actually know where to look on that big prize list. They have some bond holder locations down as just Wales but then I have seen others as Gwent Valleys for example. So I don't actually know where they would list me in that list if I was fortunate enough to win a biggie

    If you never see your county on the list, it would be North Wales due to there not being the requisite number of holders in your area to maintain anonymity. You can filter the list alphabetically to see if your area is there.
