talking to a mate this morning and we got on to the subject of premium bonds,i have some i bought and have never had a win on for over 20 years,
i dug the cert out to discover it was still registered at my previous address,had a look on line and ive won £50 with no nigerians involved.....flushed with this success i went out and HAD A HAIRCUT

Hahaha Grats Mate, i saw on the news a few weeks back that lots of prizes hadn't been claimed because of new address and there was i think 2 £100,000+ prizes not claimed...
So everyone check your premium bonds!

is it easy to check on line? reason i'm asking is my wife has £5 worth from when she was born (41 years) and we have no idea if there are any winnings outstanding.

Problem is the number is only short so how do you go about checking the numbers out?

Thanks
Nigel

I've had premium bonds since the day I was born and never won a cent, can you lend us a tenner 'till payday?

Cheers

Chris

Looks like I'm in the money too.

Just had an e-mail saying I'm about to get $100 million pounds.

Just have to send off £50,000 to claim it.

Surely it must be worth selling my house for????

Wish I could still justify a haircut...

tried to check on line but the bonds are so old the numbers aren't recognised. Where do you get tyhe phone number from to ring them and ask them to check?

Thanks
Nigel

If they're old or you haven't got the bond numbers you have to write to them and they sort it all out and send you the numbers.

I'm having to do that cos my mum bought me some bonds but I never got the certificate and they're registered in my old address...

0845 964 5000 is the one to ring,order me a pizza while your at it

There's a fast new way to get your hands on unclaimed premium bond wins. I was sent this recently - expecting to receive money any day! You have to give your account details to pay the winnings in.`

00 234 666 125456

I win fairly regularly on these and went on a run of about 7 months winning last year. This month I have had three separate wins of £50 each. I daren't add any more too though in case I pop up on their screens and they see I've been winning.

The value of the prize pot for premium bonds is calculated based on the bank of england base rate which is only ever so slightly north of bugger all, so if you have premium bonds, sell them now, put them in something with a half decent chance of tracking inflation and then buy them back later when the economic shit-storm has passed!

haircut, nah, don't beleive it... pics or stfu
