You mean the most bonds Ive purchased in one go? That would be 10k last year
The prizes this month were 2 @ £50 and one at £1000
Does it tell you which bond value won the £1000 prize ?
Each bond is worth £1.

Nothing for me this month.
My current winning streak is 14 consecutive months, my best is 27 consecutive months.
£150 this month on FH.

If someone dies their bonds will continue to win prizes until NS&I are informed of the death, the problem is the bonds are only eligible to receive prizes for one year after the death. When NS&I are informed they will only pay out the prizes that occurred within that first year, any that occurred after are reallocated to other people.
I was speaking to someone who had premium bonds passed down to them from a deceased relative, I told them to inform NS&I immediately and get them cashed in as they wouldn't be able to claim any subsequent prizes. Imagine winning a large prize and not being able to claim it, I think it's a rather odious practice, I don't see why it should be that way.

@Derek W
are you keeping some kinda master spreadsheet of people’s winnings and returns ratios?
if so, do you care to share? I’m just sad and like looking at numbers.. lol

No, I'm not keeping any spreadsheet or anything. I'm just happy to see it when folk win and I can sympathise with the ones who miss out. Been there, done that got the t-shirt even though I've never reached the heights of some folks investments.

Lol… shame, as I would like to see if the APRs actually to work out and we do have a large enough sample here.
not sure how many people will report winning sweat FA again and again thou..

Looks like I've won nowt on £10k, but it still says next draw is 3 Jan 24, so a glitch...

If you look at your bond record, it lists the blocks in which you bought them in.
Eg, if at 1 point you bought £5ks worth, there will be a row showing starting number and end number for 5000 bonds.
I think he means what sized block won the prize.
You often find large contiguous blocks win more prizes than small spread out bonds.
I have a 6k block that wins more than the other load of 8k bonds that are in smaller chunks.
Sounds like the 'new bonds win more' nonsense.
Nothing off fifty quid.
Shocking if you ask me

£100, now just over £33k
Now do lottery numbers

Yeah it's probably nonsense, but I do win most prizes from the big continuous block.

Was winning £25-150 a month when i had 50k in them.
Had to pay for an extension to our house this year though, so with a measly £3k in there i now win nothing. (Actually, had £25 last month which was a surprise)
