I read that the last couple of big winners on bonds didn't actually have that much put into premium bonds, one had like £100, the other a bit more. So you don't /have/ to have anywhere near the max £50k in there to win it, just need to be sure the gods have your name in mind when luck is dished outI originally had one £1 bond in 1958 - It won £50 somewhere in early 90's so there is hope - Not much but hope.
It was coincidental, getting new numbers doesn't change the odds of winning.
Isn't this quite dumb, it's been proven that new bonds don't have a higher chance of winning and you're losing a months chance of winning each time you do this?
I'm pretty sure you can top it up with some additional funds now
Do you realise that makes no difference to your chance of winning - except that it takes you out of the draw entirely for two months?
Great word 10/10 have learnt something

Cool, how much did you win?
The odds of winning each month don't change the longer you leave it in, but you are more likely to get closer to the average luck over time.
