Saw this on another page, looks like the same person won two high value prizes 

Wow, what are the odds for that?

To win one of those prizes in a lifetime would be unlikely & to win two absolutely amazing but to win both in the very same draw is mindbendingly long odds.

When using the app it tells you how many prizes you have won & in ascending order. Imagine opening the first to see you have won £25K & thereby knowing that the second prize is at least that amount....& even better when it turns out to be £100k...

I'd say its around 1 in 56,782,080.

Congratulations to the person with a total holding of £1 who won £25000 in the September draw! 

LOVE stories like this!

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

How often does someone with 1 premium bond check their prizes I wonder?

If that is the same person, then that's really taking the mick.

I always thought if you won two higher value prizes in the same draw you were only awarded the higher one and the other was redistributed. 

Has it changed or did I imagine that?

Especially as 450LL200555 won last month as well.

That's probably the same bond number winning twice, not the same person.

As I recall, he had a letter to say he'd won a prize, and he had to confirm his identity, but he's no longer here to confirm. He was obviously hoping for a bigger prize as they'd written to him

That wouldn't seem to be in the spirit of the ethos of premium bonds, either every bond has an equal chance of winning or it doesn’t.
