PREMIUM BONDS - august onwards !!!

[Blondeshavemorefun]

Know other thread is near the end

So this is for when previous one is full

The high value winners list will be out and downloadable for the NS&I website, so I imagine it's from this month.

Yep, I checked on the spreadsheet that @littleblackcat27 linked today.

That is coming up for September for me @benfoldsfivefan

I am hoping it is not this month's as I did not win big on that one!😁

Are you clicking on the link that was posted earlier, @FiveShelties ?

@benfoldsfivefan so sorry I clicked on the wrong one! Hopefully I will feature on this one.

Sadly I did not feature on that one either - hopefully lots of little wins tomorrow. Good luck everyone

@littleblackcat27 no, not sadly :(
Well maybe next time 🤭🤞

October winners

Know other have posted but as I'm op easier to find the link

www.nsandi.com/files/asset/xlsx/prize-october-2023.xlsx

Will go and see if won anything big

Nope

But £38 won £25k

And £51 and £5 won £5k

So small holdings can win

Annoyingly I am in West Scotland but it wasn't me that won the £1m

What's the best way to check the spreadsheet?

It does feel for me with a tiny holding of £500 that its better off earning interest until I can get to at least £5k.

I like to wait using the app instead of checking online, keeps the thrill alive for a bit longer haha! Also it does the work for me!! Fingers crossed for everyone and you get a lovely picture with a winning amount appearing on your phone :) so excited, won’t be able to sleep tonight checking at midnight haha!!

Download then filter it.

Did someone post last month that you can see a ‘pending prize’ on one of the Apps if you’ve won? Would that be available yet? I can’t wait til midnight.

I’ve never seen a pending prize on my app!! That would make me even more excited haha!!

Think it was a glitch and only if you don’t have FH.

Oh OK, thanks.

My friend won £50,000 last month. Loveliest person so I was so chuffed for them. They showed me on the app, looked surreal! The app is how they found out too, it took them a while to believe it. They then got a letter to confirm where the funds were to be sent.

@Scottishgirl85 congratulations to your friend, that's an amazing win!

I thought DH had won 1k as it was same area, date and holding amount but unfortunately the bond numbers didn't match up 😭

Have just discovered this thread! This morning we realised with our holdings we'd be earning far more in an easy access account at the moment so I'm contemplating drawing all ours out and have been looking around to see if others are doing similar which is how I discovered this post!

@LegendsBeyond I can usually see my prizes on NS&I prize checker at about 11.45pm each month. It's odd - so for example tonight it might say something like "You've won £250 in September" but it really means October. The amount will be right [e.g. I might actually only have won £150 in Seprtember so that's how you can tell it's the right winnings for the new month] but the month is wrong - the month updates at midnight but the winnings appear earlier if you see what I mean. Sorry, it's a bit tricky to explain.

This has honestly been the longest month.

I'm definitely feeling like I deserve a sizeable win. Something in excess of £10k would be much appreciated and actually feel like it was doing something useful. We did win £1k before but it coincided with a boring car repair or something so was immediately wiped out by the credit card bill.

£50k or £100k would be outstanding.

A few hundred would let DH enjoy his rarely received bonus, rather than spend it on his dental bill. Sigh.

This thread always gets me excited and anticipating a win! Never used to check before but you all get me going 🤪

Thread for when this is full or go over to now for October app tonight midnight
