I have had £3,000 bonds for some time now and have neverwon anything, most winners seem to have at least £20,0000 or more worth in bonds. Is it worth having a small amount or do you know of any winners?
My gr5an did have £20,000 worth and she used to get £50 quite often. After she passed away my dad cashed them in and gave me, my sis and my mum £1000 each to buy bonds. Had them for 6 months and none of us have got anything.
I have £500 which I bought 3 or 4 years ago. Haven't won anything. Come to think of it, I don't even know where the certificate is! Do they send you a cheque if you win?
Seriously, I would presume they would notify you, that is if you haven't moved address since buying them. If you do move I guess it's up to you to notify them.

They send you cheque if you have won, IF they have your current address. You've not moved recently have you? if you have, perhaps you're already a millionaire and didn't know it!
It's very exciting when you spot NS&I on the envelope. An excitement that quickly subsides when you open it and find you've only won a poxy £50! Still, better than a poke in the eye eh!
I've won £50 before quite a few years back. Wouldn't know if I had now, because they're still in my mother's name (even though she's never brought me up and we don't like each other) and I don't know how to 'get hold' of them again :mad:

anyway, i have won 50 quid on numerous occasions - the first time was what made me realise i had premium bonds, I didn't know I had them before that!
I have a friend who won about 500 or something,I can't remember exactly how much. Not known any big winners.
My aunt regulary wins £50 though but I don't know how much she has invested.

Had them over 35 years and never won a penny!

Ha, no, same address, so unfortunately I don't think I'm a millionaire.
