Yippee I won £25. Thought I hadn't as it is very late notifying me. But every little helps.

In over 50 years I've never won a penny. I haven't got many about £80 all gifts from when I was a child.

nice one Caran :)
enjoy spending it

I am very lucky with PBs. I manage to get £25 nearly every other month.

[Gill1941]

Well done. Do you know you can look on PSB website after 1st of month and find out if you have won anything in that month's draw? You just have to put in your holder number. I get a few £25 but they won't be so frequent in the future.

Any winnings I get are notified to me by email and put into bank directly. I use to find the paying in of cheque a bit of a hassle. You will get payment much quicker if you set this up - normally first week of month.

[Gill1941]

That's a good idea grasscarp. I have mine reinvested - only ever get £25 anyway. Am waiting for a bigger one!

Do you have to check if you have won (as in the lottery) or do they send the winnings automatically?

[grasscarp]

They send automatically. I buy lottery tickets on line and they put money on the site and notify me and I go onto the site and transfer money into my bank. (rare event!)

[Sipowicz]

Ann, just make sure they have your correct address, they'll contact you.

[grasscarp]

Can you imagine if they published list of winning numbers and people had to self check! I have 30 thousand. And amount doesn't help much / 4 months running recently I got nothing and this month same as Caran 25.

Caran....as has been said...do check online for any winnings. Just after I moved here I had some winnings which were posted into a nearby empty house by mistake.

I had checked and knew I had won so was able to sort it out before an estate agent found my missing mail ages later.
