Whoop, whoop, I won £100 and hubby won £175. Have you checked yours? Good Luck.

We win most months. Varies from £25 up to £350 but nothing above that.

Congratulations LondonMzFitz! That’s a good haul.

I’ve never won more than £100, and went for ages without winning anything at all.

Utterly thrilled to win across 5 bonds -
£500, £100, £100, £50, £25.

The most I've won on anything anytime! Blooming thrilled.

I have had £10 in Premium Bonds since the early 1970s. In 1985 I was absolutely broke and Ernie was an answer to prayer; I won £50!

My husband buys Premium Bonds with the money we save to pay our business tax bill and he’s had several wins - paying more than we would have gained in interest.

I had three in February; £100, £50 and £25. The most I’ve won in one go…. Usually £25.

I won £500 a couple of years back. I also got a small prize at the “ wrong” time of month. Later got letter saying that someone not eligible had got a prize so it had been redrawn hence I had won.
We got £50 each this month.

Nothing here

I won £125 today, I think my biggest win to date but I am not complaining even £25 is better in my bank account.

Ernie smiled at me two £50 and a £1000.I'm smiling as well.

DH got 2x£100, I got £25. The reverse of last month. I am thinking of investing in a few more bonds.

£125 for me. Nice one!

Doodledog Thu 02-Mar-23 16:45:57

Every pound has as much chance as any other pound, so the odds are the same for everyone, but obviously someone with 50,000 tickets has more chance of one of her tickets coming up than someone with one.

I won £100 this month.

I just found a premium bond that I bought way back in 1966 for one pound. If it ever won anything since 1985 when we emigrated Ernie wouldn’t have found me to break the good news. I’m just curious to know if you grans have lots of premium bonds therefore increasing the odds of win or does a one pound have a chance of a win.🤔

Well done Kim. My husband won £500 in November.

Rosie51 Sat 04-Feb-23 22:04:52

Well done Kim that's a nice prize!

Congratulations, Kim!

dragonfly46 Sat 04-Feb-23 18:32:58

Hey well done Kim I have never won that much.

pensionpat Sat 04-Feb-23 18:17:41

And I think you’ve won this thread! Well done.

Kim19 Sat 04-Feb-23 18:15:40

I've just come in to find a nice little £500 cheque. Thank you Ernie!

We have ONE Premium Bond between us and it has NEVER come up.

We can go one better!! We have 2 and they have never won!! grin

I must admit, every time I see a bond on the big winners list from before the 1980s, I wonder if the holder’s still with us to collect it……

Maggiemaybe Sat 04-Feb-23 17:39:59

I used to have £6 worth, a £5 and a £1 bond, bought for me on the day they went on sale in 1956. smile

I hung onto them until a couple of years ago, because I would have loved that £1 bond to appear on the list of big winners one day. I had to let them go though, as every time you cash in any bonds it’s either a quick click to cash the oldest, or a two page form to fill in to choose particular ones.

I do still have the paper bonds though - they’re quite attractive, I might stick them in a frame. smile
