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 |

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. |

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!! |

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 |
