£25 on £50k. At least I won this month.

So that’s a grand total of £75 in the last 6 draws. Time to move on, I suspect

Crikey, that's terrible!

Bad luck. No reason to move on though, in the next draw you've got as much chance as anyone else!

What happens to dead peoples bonds if they are not left in a will... do they just carry on being unclaimed wins if drawn? If so there could thousands of numbers drawn that will never be claimed.

In theory, if nobody tells them, then yes, there's £millions in unclaimed prizes.

I discovered my deceased mums premium bonds going back to 1973 the other week - turns out she didn't win a bean in that time!

£63m in unclaimed prizes. Not a huge amount, relative to the £80 billion total invested and £93m in prizes per month.

[Chlorothalonil]

In the last 3 draws I've had a total of £325 on £50k.

Probably all ‘dead’ bonds ... surely for every number drawn belonging to a deceased person, is what a living bond holder could’ve won. No money paid out but still invested & making money for shareholders or whatever

2 x £25 for me.

[Planet Claire]

I was back in the draw in January with £30K and won £25, nothing in Feb and now £50 (2x£25) in March.

I first had some bonds back in '96, £1000, and put them in for a year. I won £250 in total. Not sure I'll get that success rate this time round!
