How do I find out if premium bonds from 1959 have won anything?

[QueenEagle]

The number on each voucher is not the number needed to check if it has won anything. There is no other paperwork only the 2 vouchers.

Have checked online but cannot see how I can find out, that's if I can find out without the ID number. Are they good only for the bin now after this long?

no all premium bonds are still worth something albeit only face value i think.

i have one from my first birthday in 1969. There is an online search thing you can do but there's an awful lot of numbers to trawl through.

I had this probelm - I wrote to them and they said the only person who can find out if they have won is the person who bought the bonds in teh first place. My bonds were bought for me when I was born by my grandfather who is now no longer with us so I think they are now worthless. They were only worth £6 so i persue it but if it's a larger amount there must be a way. Sorry I realise I haven't really been much help!

I meant to type I didn't persue it!!

pursue even ;)

oh yeah!!! You know when you look at a word and you just know it's wrong.....Very tired late night last night!!

Face value is only £1 each and they were bought by dh's (now deceased) grandmother.

I probably won't pursue it, I just had this wishful fantasy that they were sitting on a million quid fortune!!

they will have been bought in dh's name no?

simply write with details DH name, address (when bought) and numbers and ask if they've won anything .. you never know you might be sitting on a million pounds ... doubt it but worth doing

You need the holders number

I don?t know my holder?s number...
