Mine isn't showing December results yet ?

Normally the 2nd or 3rd business day ?

Apparently you can log in to the website and see early..

Look at his previous posts, he gets his notifications/cheques by post so he is referring to November's draw not Decembers.

The smaller prizes should be showing online and on the app tomorrow.

ETA- Sorry I was thinking of the wrong poster. However, I am sure notification for the smaller prizes won't be until tomorrow so he musts till be getting confused with Novembers draw.

lol, by post!!!!

Good lord.

I couldn't be dealing with the wait. The app is great.

Well, that was underwhelming, I've now got around £80k in there but only 1x£25 this month over both accounts!

Another month where we all won 25,25&50. I notice one of the big winners with just £1000 invested won £50,000! How happy must they be just before Christmas.

Probably won't know about it till Jan if they're part of the post gang

Nice!

Interesting that most of the big winners are relatively recent holdings, one of the £1m prizes are from bonds bought last year! Very nice.

I imagine the person who won £10k off a bond bought in 1972 is pretty chuffed! Mind, £100 back then was probably the equivalent to £10k today!

I enjoyed PB whilst I had then but sold all mine a couple of months back.

£15K into a S&S ISA 2 months ago and after an initial dip i'm currently £250 up.

I don't really see the point of leaving money untouched for 43 years. However, I guess every now and again the long-ball strategy like this works. Weird, I bet they just buy more premium bonds with it!

After a year of £25 x 1 x or x3 each month, got 1 x £500 this month on £40k holding.

[fido]

Not as good, but my first £250 prize in years (on a 40k pot).

[mark387mw]

Bah humbug - nothing this month and only £50 from the last 6 months.

[nigelpugh7]

Just got our winning notice today, got 4 * £25, so £100 not bad, will take the wife out for a slap up meal and some fine wines!

[stevensdrs]

£50 (2x25) not great but better than nothing.

[okgo]

Results up on the app this morning - £75 quid for me on £80k - not that great this month, better than nowt that I got last month mind you.

[BoRED S2upid]

Blank month for me but I did check last years total and it worked out at 2.5% over the year which I was surprised by.

[SHutchinson]

£25 on £20k, I'm on target for over 2% returns for the year though which isn't bad I suppose.

What happens if you are on "auto reinvest" and hit £40k ? do you go above £40k or do they send you cheques ?
