It’s Premium Bonds draw day.

My first time.
£0.
My lifelong bad luck has found a new outlet.

Nothing for me, £25 for the boss (who had £500 eligible for this draw but has just moved some more money in).

2 x £25 this month

Nothing for me now for a couple of months. £50 for the year so far. August is gonna be my month!

I got an email (which looks pukka) saying I’d won but when I go to the checker it says not. Anyone else ever experienced this before?

£25 again for me this month.

I get an email from ns&I on the 3rd of the month saying I have a message & need to login to read then another on the 4th telling me I’ve won, if I login to read the message it’s the same as the email from the 4th.

OOh – I did win £25.

Weird because on the 2nd the website showed nothing but then I got an email yesterday.

Might buy myself another multi-tool 🙂

My first draw. I put a decent chunk in and got £50. That’s already better than the crappy interest on the account the money was in.

I won 3x£25 after all which showed up when I logged into my account. Turns out I was using the wrong account number in the checker. That was the first month’s draw I was eligible for.

Does anyone know when the prizes usually get paid? Mine should go to a nominated NS&I account but it’s still not there.

Did anyone get a visit from Agent Million today?

Unless he’s known to come early, my app is saying tomorrow.

They visit you in person if you’ve won the £1M (pre-Covid)

And the visit is the day before the results go public…..ie today

Me ..nothing again
Mrs Zip …£100.

I’m a kept man.

£25 for me.

Is that why the little prizes come out on the second working day if the month then? They want the first day to visit for the big one?

Whoop £25

25 again this month for me

Nothing for me this month.

£0 !

2500 p

£25 here first prize won in my second draw

7500p

1st month for me and looks like a £0 as nothing showing on the site & no email.
They could make it more obvious on their site though as, unless I’ve missed something, there’s nowhere that says draw date & winnings if it’s £0.

2*25 for me. I’m happy enough with that

Beats the easy money return from rolls Royce shares.

Site isn’t showing my winnings but the prize checker app is

Naff all for the first time in a while

£100 for me
£50 for Mrs Lawman
We’ll settle for that (each month, please…)

Tsk, bugger all.

£25 for me.

Site isn’t showing my winnings but the prize checker app is

Ah ok thanks, there’s still hope then!

My first time.
£0.
My lifelong bad luck has found a new outlet.

Second time. Still nothing.
£16k in there eligible. At what point does my bad luck become statistically significant?

Winner, winner, chicken dinner!

What to spend my mighty fortune on? They must have sensed I was about to withdraw the lot so gave me a token £25 to keep me on the hook!

Nothing here. Haven’t checked my wife’s though…

Second time. Still nothing.
£16k in there eligible. At what point does my bad luck become statistically significant?

£40k and won £50 in the last year. I’m a winner at being a loser.

Had been saving cash for flat buying and legal fees. that’s been put on hold, stuffed some of it in Bonds month before last – result! – well’ several minimum prizes. warm glow.

put a sizeable chunk in for the last two months, and not won a bean

3 x £25 this month, thankyouverymuch.

so many folk flocking into Premium bonds odds have gone from 40.99 billion to 1 to 46.33 billion to 1……. those are some loooooong odds .
