    No winners since late 2017 on just over €60k. Very impressed by pbwinners performance, have you reinvested your winnings or are you still sitting on €25k? Also out of pure curiosity do you cash in and then reinvest regularly, just curious, as when I was buying regularly some years ago there appeared to be a correlation between a purchase and subsequent prompt wins. Considering churning the old pbs to see can i get lucky again.........

    Thats a lot of $ to not have a win on ....

    Consider throwing a few K on the English one?

    I havnt won much on approx 1000 invested, a few 50s in 20 years, but surprisingly one bond has won twice in 15 years ....

    Consider getting new numbers on some?

    Seems anyone can buy Premium Bonds in UK, but the payment must be made with a UK bank account. Couldn't be bothered with that!

    Anyway, I have a good enough investment in our own PBs, and every couple of years, cash them in and re invest. A win has always resulted on the new bonds within a couple of months.

    Must be an incentive of some sort, or maybe just luck! Only small amounts though... but still. Better that than the entire investment being stagnant.

    I have 4 units of prize bonds since 2007,never checked then until today.
    No recent winners the last 6 months,
    I see I can still claim if I ever won, but is the only way is to call them is it?

    Have you changed address since 2007? if you haven't received notification - then you haven't won.


  • Moderators, Music Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 9,389 Mod ✭✭✭✭Lenny


    No, the address om it is of a pub that the missus worked in! So doubt they would of sent anything forward on.. Maybe should have gotten the address changed..

    If new bonds are more likely to win then the draw is rigged???

    What's your holding, if you've only 1 bond then it's unlikely you'll have a win in 100 years.

    Nothing for me today, last win 8th March 2019, €50euro.

    2 wins in 2018 €100 euro

    8 wins in 2017

    7 wins in 2016

    2 wins in 2015.
    Holding 60k, 20k purchased in August 2015, 30K purchased in June 2016, 10k purchased in 2017, 10k hasn't won anything, total wins 20, total €1,000.
    100 old bonds purchased in 1980s, waiting over 20years for a win, €75 won in 2012, another €75 won in 2013, nothing since on those, that's my cards on the table, if you haven't won anything in 50 years holding a few bonds, that's not unusual, but a large holding, say over 20k, well you do expect something, I live in hope, I dream big, and I do like that Friday feeling, good luck to all.
