Premium Bonds

[Ric.ror]

Just £25 for me this week.
I felt sure I'd get the big one this month.
Must be saving it for December

[grasscarp]

you are lucky - for me 5th month of nothing.

[Ric.ror]

Never mind
Might be waiting for the big one for you grassy

[gness]

£50 for me, Ric....not the biggie but nice all the same...x

[mallyh]

congratulations x nothing for me but post may be delayed i hope .

[grasscarp]

you can check on line Mally with your holder number.
Trigger, nothing guarantees a win. I have 25,000 quid sitting there. Nothing in last 5 months, and the odd 25 quid every so often before that. Almost never the dizzy heights of 50 pounds so envying Gness right now.

[Ric.ror]

As I said last month one person who has had £70 or so since the sixties won a nice little amount
Just hope they got it
Wonder what happens if the holder has passed away

[EcclesCake]

I think I've had a win every month this year. Only £25 this month though :-(

[gness]

Hi Ric...if the holder dies the bonds go to the next of kin who can cash them or leave them for a maximum of one year.

I left MrG's bonds for a year and he had a nice little win which I was able to claim after a year from his death....He'd have been chuffed at the win and even more chuffed with the sewing machine I used some of it for...☺

I got P Bonds as gifts for Birthday's and Christmas from when they started in the 50's right up to my 21st Birthday in 1971. I have never won a penny.

[EcclesCake]

Jeza, have you actually checked to see if you have won anything over the years?

It is quite easy to do on line.

[gness]

I hope you have, Jezza...MrG checked one that had been bought for me in my teens...I had won but moved lots and never told them...x

[EcclesCake]

If they have your current address on file they will write to you.

[gness]

Trig....they will send the cheque to the address they have for you but...just after I moved here I checked online as I always do and I had won £75. The cheques never came though I had informed them of my change of address. Turned out the cheques had been delivered to an empty house down the street and were put through my door months later.....by which time NSANDI had replaced them....x

[EcclesCake]

Triggs, if you've got about a bit and haven't updated your address you can just stick your holder number into their website and you'll see how many squillion you've been missing out on.

[gness]

At which point you will think....Now! What can I do for the two ladies who encouraged me to do this........☺
