My wife was given some Premium Bonds in the 80s, for years ive been saying to her cash them as they probally dont even go in the draw.
This week my wife got a cheque through post for 25.00, shows what i know.

My kids have won £50 each but I have £100 worth somewhere and have never checked them.
Are we notified if we win?
I have had 16 since 1974 and have won £25, so I got my money back and fingers crossed.
Premium Bonds are generally claimed to be a poor investment. The place to put money when you have run out of other places.
The more you put in the more chances you have to win - though a person with one bond has the same chances as someone with 30,000. Those with more have higher odds of winning though.
Despite supposedly being a poor investment, my bonds are giving a better return than my 'proper' investments (which have been in negative territory since 2001), and paying more than high yield (there's a laugh) accounts.
