I love seeing which stranger has won what on their Premium Bonds.
It gives me a strange sense of "right".
This month, someone for Manchester with only £23 of bonds in total won £5,000 on a £1 bond that they bought in 1971
That would make ANYONE smile
£5,000 5DN331891 £23 Greater Manchester £1 Jul-71
and someone in Herfortordshire who bought one batch of £500 of bonds, (all bought at once) in 2004... won £50,000!
£50,000 6HJ562295 £500 Hertfordshire £500 Apr-04
2 people per month win £1m. Both holders to win this month were higher bond holders, and ironically both were bought in 2011
£1,000,000 181XE611069 £11,524 South West Wales £5,200 Jun-11
£1,000,000 180AV204733 £26,425 Overseas £10,000 Apr-11

I buy £100 per month, every month, and have done so for ... a long time now. I'm winning £25 pegularly now, but it's still not quite made me as much back as if I'd paid my mortgage off at an extra £100 per month over the same period.
Anyone else into bonds?
I love them.
For the dude who won £50,000 with the 11 year investment of £500 ... that's a proper investment
