woo hoo just been notified that I have won something...THIS WAS MY
FIRST
DRAW........tee hee

I bought бё10k in October and got бё50 on my first draw in November,
another бё25 now in February.


The prize fund is currently 1% so бё10K would generate бё100 a year in
prizes.Â* On average, you could "win" a single prize approx every 3.5
months, which could be the million rather than бё25. Prizes are tax
free.


Hmm ive had Ñ‘500 worth of premium bonds since 1959 only ever won a few
time
until 2019 when I won 6 times one after another

I think it is great fun wondering if you will be lucky...more fun than
the lottery anyway......

I bought a £2 bond in the post office in Dec 1965 and in 2013 I won
£25 from that bond. Maybe NS occasionally throw some extra small
prizes at the really old bonds, because statistically I wouldn't
expect this.

According to the RPI tables I would have needed to win about £33 to get
my money back. This is what the treasury are gambling on, that people
will buy them and forget about them.
