  1. this month's e-mail appeared on the second working day (it's usually third working day)
  2. the e-mail arrived within one hour of being sent
  3. two separate Premium Bond accounts both had prizes and both e-mails were sent at the same time and received at the same time.
I'm not unwise enough to think that service at NS&I is improving (& tempt fate) (or naive enough to think that they read this forum/thread), but you never know!
I noticed that the website checker for Feb draw was also online late on Mon evening (1 Feb)


Interesting. I haven't received my 'winners' e-mail yet.

The results for March won't be due until tomorrow morning, so I suspect that the above return was the one you got for February...

Cheers,

Zilch on full complement - clearly they have decided to not pay out because I have got a jab a couple of weeks ago.

Nothing again.

Just over £15k holding eligible for prizes since the December 2020 draw, and not a bean to show for it yet.

Got more than a little excited yesterday when saw that someone in East Sussex had won £100K with a max holding purchased in the same month as I bought mine. :o

Unfortunately, just checked and I only won 2 x £25 (boo hoo).

3 X £25 on £50k. Just heard my cash ISA rate has dropped yet again, and I've given up on moving providers, so PBs are reasonably good value for me at the moment.

Lots of people still investing in Premium Bonds https://www.yourmoney.com/investing/bri ... -worth-it/

More than 2 billion new bonds in the March draw (therefore purchased in January). The highest increase ever.

With the Easter Bank Holidays, the 2nd working day of April is actually the 6th April. NS&I say "We update our prize checker by the second working day of every month", but in the past I've noted that they actually come out the end of the 1st working day. This is usually the same thing, but not always.

I expect them to be out around midnight on 1st April, 4 days before the second working day :-)

Having installed the prize checker app. on my tablet, I was actually able to discover first thing this morning, amidst a virtual bouquet of congratulatory flowers, that I had won the princely sum of £25 yet again. Somewhat disappointing as I had seen on Love Money that someone in Bucks. with the same no. of bonds as me had won £5000k but that's life. The app certainly saves a lot of faff since all you have to do is click on it.

Nothing two months in a row from a combined holding of just over £50,000.

Moi aussi. Yes the App is simple but I was hoping you'd have hit the jackpot.

Full holdings - tax years:

2016-17 £600
2017-18 £425
2018-19 £700
2019-20 £650
2020-21 £325 (5 blank months)

I told you you'd "win" this year! Was I right?
