I have one Premium Bond, value £1, bought by my Grandfather. Likewise my sister has one too, both were bought in 1960 when she was born.

Neither of us have had any win whatsoever :-(

We joke that we will both win the jackpot one day :-D

Thats really good.

Our eldest received a £1 Premium Bond when he was born in 1969, never had a sniff of any prize money!
They do say that a single £1 bond has the same chance as for those who have to buy bigger bundles in one go! but I do wonder?

I have £35 pounds worth bought over a period of two years back in the late 60s, early 70s. I think in total I have had a £50 win and two £25s. My son has £100 worth of bonds, bought as a lump purchase in 1990, and I don't think he's won anything yet. I keep hoping, one of these days there will be a large cheque in the post.

Enjoy your wins, folks

Congrats Mr M. I've had a premium bond since the late 1950s, a present from my maternal grandma. Still haven't won anything :-(
