Premium Bond Prizes
23 Answers
Do we have to check numbers and claim our prizes? I have assumed they'd write to me if i won. I will have to dig out the bonds and put the numbers through the checker website, but do I need to do this each week?
I ask because a man in Suffolk has won £1,000,000 and the prize needs claiming. The bond was bought in April 2012 so why do they not have his details? Surely we're all on a database. If you think it could be you shout!

I do like the arrangement though, whereby winnings go directly into my account. Very convenient.
I've also paid for quite a few things by direct payment into a bank account. I was cautious at first but now I wouldn't hesitate to pay this way.

You don't hav to check if you have them registered online on their web site. Presumably some have not, some bonds are in effect anonymous going back to the old days. the best way is to save by DD, have prizes reinvested. That way if you win you get an email from ernie which says "Good news from ernie" in the subject line. Over the years I reckon I've beaten most savings accounts this way.
