So, how many premium bonds do you have? The answer is never just a number. It’s a story of birthday gifts, tax rebates, and impulsive decisions made at 2 AM. It’s a number that can make you feel rich or painfully average. Calculate it, write it down, and set a monthly calendar reminder to check for prizes—no more, no less.
And if you’re like Uncle Barry, who finally discovered he had 23 bonds and had won a total of £50 over a decade? Well, he bought a nice bottle of wine. He didn’t win the million, but he got a story. And sometimes, that’s almost as good as the jackpot. Almost.
