My grandparents set me up in 1976 with £55 worth of premium bonds, I remember winning £100 in the 80’s but not a bean until 2019 £25 and 2020 another £25.

I have recently switched the account into my name and i’m stocking up as my savings are doing nothing in the bank.

I guess to win £50 in 2 years I must be very lucky with only 55 bonds... hope the luck continues..

I guess £55 was a lot of money in 1976?

Well the strangest thing happened. I got a letter today from NS&I to tell me I had been awarded a further prize of £25 in the March draw. The letter stated that a prize had been won by a holder who was ineligible to receive it and so it had been awarded to me. I wonder what would make you ineligible, dead perhaps? My bond that they allocated the prize to was in the middle of a block so not the next number in line. I wonder if they run Ernie again to choose the holder to receive it.
Anyway £75 now so not complaining.

Pleasantly surprised to get an envelope through the door this morning with a £25 win on £500!

The actual draw will have already been done - its about mid-month I believe - however, according to the app the results will be announced on Friday. But if you win the million, Agent Million will be round tomorrow!

Lunchtime tomorrow and you'll be able to see online the winners from the £1million down to £1,000. Not on the app, but it's all available online, I use This is Money website

£50k’s worth for four months and not a bean.

Hoping for a change in fortune tomorrow as I believe I am already significantly defeating the odds!

Didn’t know that list was there, ah well - will have to wait another month for the million.... Interesting to see how many people must have £50k holdings based on that sample (I know that will bias them towards winning prizes).
