Premium Bonds

[kat1]

Hi, Anyone know when this months will be drawn? Just seems a bit late.

[EcclesCake]

Mmm, I though the same, you can usually check on line the working day after the draw. As the draw was on Thursday I'm surprised the winner info isn't available.

[kat1]

Yes i check mine online but still on November!

[ironmonger]

They will be on line after 4 clear working days have passed.
This should be weds 7th Dec but sometimes they come on a day earlier

[EcclesCake]

More often than not they are available on the 2nd working day (irrespective of the official Yabbie covering blurb), this month has been unusually tardy.

I can only assume they are slow this month announcing the winnings to the plebs because they haven't been able to find my house to tell me I'm the Million Pounder.......some hope :-(

[starone]

Didn't even know. Have never checked, mainly because I have never won anything. Got a couple right from the beginning.

Ok,thanks everyone.

For a better chance of winning, cash in all your Bonds and buy new ones. The newer ones win more often.

I use this link. The major prize winners are available to view usually on the first day of the month (i.e. 1st December 2011 in this case).
I am very surprised that this information is not on the NS and I site.
Why? I don't know!

Winner that's for the bigger wins...the NS& I site give you personal details of smaller wins if you put in your holders number.

[starone]

According to the hype all of them - including my ancient ones - should get an equal chance.

[TheWinner]

daisya, That's what I said. The MAJOR winners are on this site. If you want to know if you have won a smaller prize, you have to wait at least 3 to 4 days, then enter your holder's number into the NSandI site.

[daisya]

Apologies Winner I didn't hold the thought whilst typing lol.

[TheWinner]

Hey that's OK daisya, it's a good site to check. It gives the information far quicker than the NSI site. I am surprised that you can get the information from another site quicker than the offical one. It doesn't make sense does it?
When the draw has taken place, most people want to know if they have won BIG. They aren't that bothered with the "small" prizes, and can wait four days to know that information.

[daisya]

No I agree with you there Winner, should be able to get the info from the main site not another one that's not connected as such. Similar to the lottery though, there's a site where you can get all the lottery winning numbers including the health lotto before they are published on the main sites. Silly but true, wish it was the other way round lol.

[TheWinner]

daisya, yeah I know, daft isn't it?

Apparently, if you have won the £1millliion premium bond prize, they send someone round to your house to announce the good news, about 8 am in the morning on the first of the month. If no one has rung my bell by 8 a.m. I know I haven't won!

[EcclesCake]

The NS and I website has been updated, I've had three winners!

[janbee]

The December draw is now available to view. I've just won a total of £350. That'll be handy for Christmas and of course, the dreaded heating bills !!. Good luck everyone.
