I thought one was from Preston and the other from Bucks.(£1m) The current rate given out as prizes is 3% tax free. Winners of £5000 and upwards can be viewed on teletext Channel 4 page 544

Just checked mine - as usual NOTHING! Deb

Coincidentally I saw something on my screen that said this month's million pound P.B. winners so I went to have a look and there were two listed, one in Birmingham I think who had had their bond since 2001 and one in Buckingham who had only bought their bond in February this year. What jammy luck!!

you lost the end of the addy, for any queries, this is the place to go.......delete the * http://www.nsandi.*com/ Bob

To check your bonds go to www.nsandi.com enter your holders No and it will check for wins good idea if you have moved at any time.

If I recall correctly, the prize fund equates to interest of about 2.5%. If you have a reasonable holding then you will get small prizes averaging a little less than that, but with the chance of a 'biggie' if your luck is in.

Hi When I was young my dad bought some for me and my brother I won twice when younger 10.00 and 25.00 which I had too share with my brother I was not impressed (I was aged 6 and 10 when I won) Now in my late 30's. He has Never won so I never got any back lol But I am waiting for My Brother to win a Biggy then I can claim half off him lol its only fair Have different bonds now and not won anything on them YET..... Lesley :~)

I seem to win about every four months or so ,biggest prize £100 last month two different numbers won £50 each. Regarding children /grandchildren if you bought them you also get notified of any prize they win. Linda

Some of mine are from the first day of issue and I haven't won a thing. June xx

Children Under age 16: bonds must be bought by a parent, guardian or grandparent. Any prize money will normally be paid to the parent or guardian. After age 16 the child takes over the bond. E x

Won two lots of £50 and I think I won £100 once - have £35 worth in my name, and my son has £100. Mine I have had since the late 60's, son had his for 10 years no luck yet with his. What I would do if I won a million - security for the rest of my life and my son too. If only....

I have bought bonds for grandchildren, and was under the impression that winnings were sent to childs address

Interestingly enough, you have to be over 16 to buy them yourself, however children under 16 can have them bought by a parent or guardian., and if they win the parent or guardian can claim the prize Elaine x

with average luck, should get about 3% per year (or whatever the rate is at the time) there is a page on teletext channel 4 which give the counties and holdings of the major winners. The more you have the better your chance of a regular win. I have won quite a few including £500 once.

We have some friends who over the years won small amounts Then one day when they arrived home from their holidays there was a letter to say they had won the top prize I million pounds Never know where they are these days always going on cruises etc Bren

Never won a sausage although had some since the beginning when my dad used to buy one a month. Did read that to be sure of a win you needed about £11,000 worth - Norah

My M-i-L transferred her savings (£20,000) from a building society account into Premium Bonds 3 years ago. She wins at least £50 each month and gets annoyed if she doesn't win anything! She's nearly 90, bless her! When you work it out, she has earned more from her wins than she would have got from interest, so it was worthwhile for her. I have had £5 worth of bonds since 1960 and never won anything though! Sue xx

Never won a sausage sob sob. Have had mine for years - can't remember their value now. My dad had his for goodness knows how long and never won, yet a neighbour of mine won two or three times a year, quite reasonable amounts too. Lorrainex Probably depends on how many you have to start with though:-)

My mum's had the occational small will but it always goes back into buying more bonds. She's not won anything for years though
