First time I've had a win since using the app, the champagne animation made me excited until I saw it was £25

But my NS&I Income Bond interest rate has recently dropped from 1.15% to 0.01%. The product hardly lives up to it's name!

Well , not premium bonds, but postcode lottery.....
Since I joined the latter at the end of 2015, I have won tenners regularly, sometimes a couple a month, no worse than at four month interval. Until the pandemic, that is.
I haven't won anything since we went into lockdown one, at the end of march 2020.
Re : premium bonds, I've had some since the early seventies , won £25 in 1990, and nothing else.

Just been round my mums and she wanted me to open her a premium bond account. She wanted the max so I had to move £50k from her ISA (Nationwide, paying a miserly .25%) into her current account and then open her an account and buy the bonds. I did a £100 test purchase first though! She likes a gamble but she's only got to win 5 times to draw even with the ISA and I’m pretty confident she should do that. They won’t go in the draw until March though. What surprised (and slightly worried) me was the ease in which you can move £50k around in minutes.
Does your mum need a toyboy?

I'm always nervous with online bank transfers. Like you, a test amount to make sure it doesn't disappear into the ether is always a prudent precaution.
Yeah, with the main bond purchase, at least the bank sent her a code to her mobile as a secondary back up. Was still a bit nervous but it showed up in her bond account within seconds so all good.
