I've got some from the first issue (1956 I think). Never won a penny.

Re: premium bonds
The government (NS&I) apply an interest rate of 1.5% to the prize fund.
I think you can do better in a bank/building society except there is always that chance of a big prize which is why so many people hang on to them. Chances of the £1m prize is 40 billion to 1 per £1 unit in bonds

Re: premium bonds
well i deferred the decision until this weekend to see if i came up with anything - big 0 again - so i think its bibi bonds although my other 'investments' only pay small interest 10 grand is a tidy sum to lie idle. Maybe ask for the funds in cash and have some retail theapy!!!
