This may have been covered already but has anyone ever won more than £100? I have won most months this year but always £25 or multiples of.
Has anyone on here ever won a big amount? not a friend of a friend but yourself personally?
I bought £500 worth for my daughter, and she won £3k in the first month or two. Then nothing for 10 years, and then this month got £25. My other daughter also got £500 worth, 8 years ago, and has never won a thing.Has anyone on here ever won a big amount? not a friend of a friend but yourself personally?
Downloaded the prize checker app - very good, much easier than pissing about on the website etc.
Anyway - I've upped my holding and a mixed result - 4 x £25 on £48k and then 1 x £25 on £27k in the other one. It feels nice to win a bit but I suppose expectations need to be adjusted with increased holding.

Is it just me, or does the "Apply Online" button not work on the NSandI website?

I think there's something broken there - I can't imagine it's supposed to open the page with all the Ts and Cs displayed either. Neither button works for me, in IE or chrome.https://www.nsandi.com/premium-bonds

It overlays another window over the main one.
Doesn't do jack in Chrome though.
Need to sack their no doubt expensive web site agency.

Well another £25 cheque today.
We do the lottery for fun........just in case
Generally we live a very sensible life with a surplus each month so a lottery flutter is well within means
I wasn't suggesting otherwise, just wondered where it does work better once you factor in that you never lose your "stake" in PB compared to Lottery. I stopped doing the Lottery when it went up to £2, I wouldn't fancy adding up how much I spent compared to how much I won, prior to that. My PBs are just for fun, just in case - sure, I could get a better return than I've been getting (~.95% AER) but not anywhere where there's a remote chance of a £1m prize.We do the lottery for fun........just in case

But it would also make sense to sell my car and use my Wife's Mini and when that wasn't suitable hire a car...but I can only take good sense so far.
I know it's not rational but .... I think I'll carry on as now.
35 years ago I watched every penny.... it stood me in good stead. I now feel comfortable in having fun with my pile of pennies I worked so hard for.
