October over £1000 winners

app will show smaller wins tonight midnight

@PrettyCherryBlossom fingers crossed

And yes fancy anyone doubting little old moi🙀😂

@PrettyCherryBlossom got everything crossed for you!

Is,buying 100 quid pb any good

@Muddle2000 £100 of Bonds gives you 100 entries into the draw and every bond has an equal chance of winning. Of course there are no guarantees of winnings so it’s a question of whether you are happy to take the chance or if you would prefer a guaranteed return via a high interest savings account.

Highest Premium Bonds prize fund rate since 1999
From the September 2023 prize draw, the prize fund rate will increase to 4.65% from 4.00%, its highest level since March 1999. The odds will improve to 21,000 to 1, their best level since the April 2008 prize draw.

I don't have the app and can't get it on my phone. If you win something and check the website, is the website updated at the same time as the app?

I'm trying not to get too excited, but there is someone in my area who has won a big prize- the holders amount is similar to what I (think) ours is.
Have messaged husband to check the amount exactly. Of course I can't find any paperwork in my chaotic house.
However on the app, it has changed from apple bobbing from prize last month to sparkler girl (really clutching at straws-, I know this probably isn't a thing) also the premium bond first 3 numbers on the prize we won last month is 3 out from the winning premium bond number on the spreadsheet for this month. Also time of purchase is the same as ours.
Please let it be me. I bet it isn't, but nice imaging it is right now and what I would do with the money!

Excitement over it was nice while it lasted! It's not me.
Good luck everyone

I love reading those who think they’ve won big and are waiting to check on bond numbers! It gives all of us hope!

If I was more savvy in tracking I could probably prove or disprove this.

I have blocks I bought (£5,000) and also an ongoing direct debit that buys £100 worth per month.

I would be able to track my winnings back….woukdnt I?

No big win here, but still super excited for the app tomorrow! Last month I woke up about half eleven and then couldn't get back to sleep knowing results were so close! Will blatantly be the same later on 🙈

The bond number matches!! Whoop whoop 🙌

Amazing news!!!

Any plans for what to do with it?! Would be nice to do something indulgent but suspect like most of us it will have to be earmarked for something more mundane...

Amazing!!!! How much? Hope you spend it on something lovely

Ahhh just seen your previous post. How lovely that's great news

@PrettyCherryBlossom how exciting!! Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉

@SahliJ yes the blue app lists it all. I haven't checked as I have one block at c£2500 and the rest are all under £500.

I like testing hypotheses, it's just a bit of fun

That is fantastic, enjoy every penny😁

That’s wonderful news @PrettyCherryBlossom 🎉. Do you mind sharing with how much you have in holdings, please?

I had over 34k in PBs . About 32k was made up of quite big blocks whereas the other 2k was in 25,50 and 100’s. Last month I cashed in all the smaller blocks- I had never won on any of them and stuck it in savings instead. I regularly win between 100-200 per month but the winning bonds have always been in my big blocks

See this is my non scientific theory

But you can use this in the name of science for all of us.

Oh @PrettyCherryBlossom That's amazing

Well done !!!

Lucky you @PrettyCherryBlossom , hope you can use it to have some fun 💐🥂😁

Ok, checked the prize checker app.

None of us won last month, no photos showing. Hoping that just reflects the lack of win last month?

Then I checked my holdings online, no change. Is it too early for them to have added any winnings from this month? (Well aware I didn’t feature in the £1k+ list!)
