Not one, but two prizes on the Premium Bonds today...

[sandyRoe]

Only £25 each. When will I get the million?

[grasscarp]

is that for January's draw then?

[sandyRoe]

The letters were dated 11th Jan. So it must be for this months draw.

[grasscarp]

oh, well perhaps you will get the big one in tomorrows draw! good luck to you (and to me!)

[brenda]

Congratulations sandy . When will you get the million --after me -- sorry .

[Jemisa]

Still a better bet than the 'LOTTO' and at least you can get your money back.

I won £50 last Nov.

That's OK, Brenda. I don't mind waiting a month or two.
Good luck to us all.

[sandyRoe]

I've had 10k worth for a couple of years. Won £25 a few times.

sandy -my husband was given a Premium Bond from his mum several years dating back from when he was born and now we cant find it.Ive tried to trace it through his name and where it was bought....no joy.
Any further way I can find out if in the last 50yrs he has indeed won anything ??

I got 2 prizes of £25 today as well. They were dated the 11th jan also.

The prizes were late out this month, print failure at NS&I. Got 2 x £25 myself. I keep a close watch on the returns I get, and as a basic rate taxpayer, it's not too far off what I could get in other risk-free investments . . . but I'd still like a £million!

[Bambiagain]

I've had 50 since they were first available and I've won one prize of £25 in all that time. But it's such a small investment in today's terms that it's not worth cashing them in nowadays. I keep hoping...

[4getmenot]

I won £25 on premiums this month, also thought I'd won a fiver on euromillions last Friday but when I took ticket in I'd won £19.50 :-) I had a dream Saturday night where I was sat down with a firtune teller who was telling me I would come into alot of money soon.

[4getmenot]

Only had mine 3 months

[jamesnan]

Added my winnings up for the last three years and I have had over £750 in lots of small amounts - any win is re-invested - I hold about £12,000 so not sure what the return is, but I am happy

You have a better chance of winning if you cash in all your premium bonds and buy new ones - apparently the newer ones win more often.

[regulo]

Not sure that's right Smurfchops. All bonds stand an equal chance, but earlier ones are usually made up of smaller investments, i.e. bought when £50 was a large sum. Later bond numbers are usually part of a much larger investment, and therefore SEEM to win more often.
