Having held same since it's conception , just had my first win, grand sum of £25. Thought I would go mad and book a cruise on the Woolwich Ferry. First class of course.

That could set off a chain reaction.
Had mine since inception as well, never won a thing.

At least travelling under the guise of the Pa Snip Enterprise gives me an excuse for appearing to be on another planet

We have had some premium bonds for years, in fact, one is for £1 which was given to me when our oldest son was born, 54 years ago! But I think we must have some lucky ones, because we tend to get about two wins a year, mostly for £25 but we have had some £50 as well. Maybe one day, we'll hit the jackpot!?

Have had several £25 and a couple of £50s over the years. Have held some single bonds I was about 20 when there was no minimum purchase. Now that certificates for them have been abolished I should think the paper certificates are probably worth more than their face value on eBay!,
Still, hope springs eternal, Not quite sure what I'd do with the £1 million if I ever won it though but it's nice to speculate. Often the things you probably most want are the things that no amount of money can buy .

Oh so true Primrose,
for instance I would like to be standing next to a Miss World contestant when she says she wants World Peace and to travel the world doing good work for charities.
I'd pay to carry her bags

Golly, a wish list if I won the million, after much thought it would have to be a new yard broom... a better laundry basket... and some of those bamboo woven cloches to keep the chickens off my young plants.

Let me know who would deliver a trailer load, I'd happily buy some as well,

If you all won a million, you could buy houses near me and then lots of your wishes would come true.....
Kind Regards, Old Herbaceous.

Winning £5 on our village tote, caused me sleepless nights...
