October over £1000 winners

app will show smaller wins tonight midnight

Right bed.

Good luck one and all

Ah nothing for me on the list, every month I think I'll wait until App day but somehow always end up checking the list at stupid AM. Good luck to everyone else!

No big prize here..

Although my pic has changed I understand that is only as I won a prize last month and no guarantee of a smaller prize this month!

My picture has changed to a girl with a sparkler

Dh grandson who won (sure my winnings share) 😂 last month now has a sparkler girl

But obv dh and I don't have a pic as didn't win last month

So not sure if the pic changing means you win this month

As he would be very lucky to win 2mths on the go on 25&50 winnings so £75

Tomorrow will tell

No big prize for me!! Very disappointing as we have to withdraw this month to move house

Sparkler girl for me too but pretty sure it's still showing last months winning binds. Fingers crossed.

I am very tempted to withdraw all mine and rebuy the balance in a block. I never see a decent prize winning bond in a block of eg £100 it's always £5000 plus.

Oh and does anyone else have an error message on the blue app? For transactions? Mine says 'somethings gone wrong' and has done for at least two days. Bond section is fine.

I'm confident from what I read last month that the pic changing doesn't mean you've won this month (think it only changes if you had a win last month).

No error message for me on the blue app on transations @OneFrenchEgg Also - probability means there will be less low value blocks winning a prize. If you have £5,000 worth of bonds, made up of 200 x £25 blocks, you will have the same chances of winning as 1 x £5,000 block. If you withdraw and buy again, you just miss out on a draw. I'm saying that as someone with only a low value of bonds. Interestingly the one I won on last month was only a £35 purchase.

Ah but one of the million winners got it on £50 bond out of £5000, that surely counts as win off a small holding :)

Sparkler girl for me. I also won last month. I'm not on the big winners list either. Fingers crossed for tonight instead.

I think I'm going to do it as an experiment , I need to withdraw anyway to pay for something

As a test 4 sparklers but equally 4 family winners last month. Will report back tomorrow.

No error on blue app for me

I can't afford to buy any new bonds this month. Not quite sure where all my money has gone. This hasn't happened before. I think I need to take a serious look at my outgoings

How can you tell from the big winners list if you are a winner?

You only get a pic if won previous month

So do all pics change or not

Grandson def didn't get a sparkler last month

Mainly guess work 😂

I go down via county then stop and look at each holdings by my town

I have an usual low number so would easily identify if mine

Or be very weird someone local to me has the exactly same odd number

Then you could double check the number of bond on app

I won in September and had carrot lady..think that changed to apple boy on 1st of the month but I won again..it’s now changed to sparkler..

Think you can only see a pic if you won in the previous month but that doesn’t mean you’ve won again this month. I’m probably not explaining that very well!

@cupcakes12blossom that's what I meant as well

No big winnings
Though someone won £25k on £200!!

Someone won £50k on £250 in Manchester! Was hopeful for one of my DDs but it was bought before she was born

The easiest way to see if you’re a winner is to put your PB number in the field here:

I think that too, although NS&I insist that mathematically it makes no difference. Most of my holding comes from buying £100 each month and it's only in the last year that I've ever won more than £25 in a month.

Congratulations to everyone who has won a big prize. Let's hope that the rest of us win lots of small prizes tomorrow!
