Nothing for me this month :-(

For anyone who's had them a long time, if you stop winning, is it worth cashing out and buying new bonds

No it's not. Every bond has an equal chance, old or new. The reason why new bonds seem to win more often is that people have more of them. People didn't have tens of thousands of bonds decades ago, that was enough to buy a whole street of houses.

You can see a list of £5k+winners on the website. I often see people who have won tens of thousands with a£10 holding bought in 1976.

I won £25 this month from a £25k holding. Doing quite well this year, last month I won £1k and have had a couple more £25s this year.

@shesellsseashells99 the emails usually come a couple of days later. You can download the NS&I app and check there.

I've got my email today. I don't get texts but assume I must have signed up to email but not text alerts.

zighead · 03/11/2020 09:59

Nothing for me with 6K but DS won £25 and he has about 3K. He's much luckier than me!

Will do, fingers crossed!!
sparklesandmoresparkles · 03/11/2020 13:32

£50 for DH and £75 for me both in full holding this month! We’ve been very lucky in our holding but we’re both maxed out on the back of some inheritance I got last year. We’ve just set up one each for the kids are well but they’ve only a small amount in now. We’re going to add to it from our winnings every month too.

Mindgone · 03/11/2020 13:36

Very confused here, my app tells me quite clearly that the draw is tomorrow, 4th Nov! Does this mean I get a big win??! Grin

LuckyHedgehog · 03/11/2020 14:00

£75 for me, £50 for DD and £100 for DS this month, all on max. holdings. I'm sure that of the three of us, DS has won by far the most (although apart from one £50 win for DS, we've only ever had £25 wins so it's still not a huge amount); I keep meaning to add up (or look up) our total winnings.

Dontrainonmyparade · 03/11/2020 14:16

Nothing for me this month, on approx 17k

WindFlower92 · 03/11/2020 14:26

Nothing for me, first time with £25 in!

AmandaHoldensLips · 03/11/2020 14:33

I won 25 quid this month. Woo-hoo! That's wine, crisps and cheese covered.

My friend got 7 grand on their very first "go" at premium bonds, which right pissed me off as he's loaded anyway. Bastard.

I've just looked. My text last month was on the 5th October to say I'd won something so still hope. Will log on later!

2 x £25 for me, first winnings ever Grin

DH got £25 for the third month running.

Rudolphian · 03/11/2020 18:36

£25 this month.
Got 2x £25 last month.

InTheCludgie · 04/11/2020 17:03

Hi all, I invested the max amount a couple of weeks ago which was an inheritance from my late DF. Planning to move house and put it towards the deposit in a few years time after I finish Uni so PBs seemed like a good idea until that time comes. First draw for me is December, excited to see the results!

blue25 · 04/11/2020 17:51

£25 for me this month.

Littleelffriend · 04/11/2020 18:51

You guys just prompted me to log in and check. I put in 10k in September, won 25 last month and 25 this month, very happy!
