Max you can hold is £50k. After that the prizes will go into your nominated bank account I believe (and they contact you regardless if you win over £5k).

So you have £15,050 in bonds now and can put £34,950 more in.

Ok, I thought that might be the case. Thanks. Will see if I win any more prizes before buying some more.

Massive win that. The odds must be huge.

2x£25 for us.
I've bought all of my nieces and nephews £100's worth each. Most haven't won a thing. Off the top of my head, I think we've had two win £25, one a £50 and one a £100. It's been about 10 years, mind.

Just £25 this month but it keeps the return on track. Could do with a better result in December to boost the year.

F3 x £25 for me, zero for my wife.

Will the 0.25% BoE rise be reflected in the prizes next month? I know they moved down quickly enough, I wonder if they'll move back up.

removed £10k last month to buy another car, left £1500 in there and won my first £25 for about 6 months. It's almost like it's COMPLETELY RANDOM

That's what they want you to think...

...but what would happen if you put a bit more money back in?.. you'd win again!

Nothing showing for me so just 1x£25 in 3 months on £50k.
I'll quote myself again... Now got an email, logged in and found I have 2x£25.

Not sure why it seems to take mine a couple of days to catch up but you guys seem to know earlier?!

So, £75 on £50k over 3 months.

I also don’t often get official emails with win notifications from nsandi until about the 5th of each month.

I know if I have won or not earlier by using the prize checker app on my iPhone, it’s worked well for me!

The wife and I have just bunged £25K each in, so looking for a combined return in a year of £675 in year one to match what we could have got in an ISA. Let's see how we get on.

My stocks and shares managed fund IS A has returned over £400 in the last 13 months and I've only got 3600 in it.

The app shows results way before getting the email.

The site doesn't show anything for me for a good couple of days.

i.e. I look here, people discuss their winnings and I login to the site and it shows nothing.

Might try the app but I don't really mind waiting a couple of days. If I haven't had a knock on the door/ call then it isn't going to be very big!

Just need to learn not to post a moan for 2-3 days after biggrin
