My dad recently sent me all my premium bonds and a letter pre typed passing the responsibility over to me...

£350, the last time I had a win I bought a brand new Nintendo 64 and was the bks at school for about 3 weeks until everyone started getting playstations...

Deciding wether to keep it or cash them in and put it towards a new car...

2x £25 on £20k, apart from last months 0 pretty much the norm.

Not updated yet but I'm poised, waiting from the visit from the NS&I chap....




I suspect it'll be a long wait

Lost my number and details, so can't check, but does anyone know how quick they send out the email when you do win?

It could be worse, Barclays are currently offering just 0.7% interest on their savings account. Before tax. So that's net "interest" at one quarter the rate of inflation.

Frankly Premium Bonds look a bit of a bargain compared with the ongoing bank rip-offs. The average Premium Bond rate of return is 1.3% and it's tax free.

If anyone's still got any index-linked National Savings certificates, hang onto them!!

I've had 2k of premium bonds since I was a baby, never checked anything - do they send you a letter if you win something?

Could I be a millionaire and not know it?

Only if you've told them your address.

Obviously they know my address, as if they didn't I wouldn't be expecting a letter would I?

Have you moved since you were a baby & not told NS&I?

I have but my mum still lives there, so I'd know if they had sent anything.

I appreciate its a lottery but I would expect to have won something in the last 27 years ha!
