Anybody have premium bonds?

Seeing as interest rates are now hopeless, i've switched my savings across hoping for the big win.
I know it's unlikely, but my bank is now going to pay 0.01% interest so waste of time having my money there.
For every £1,000, that pays 10p interest a year! You'd need £100,000 savings just to get £10 interest in a year! You get the drift, no point bothering. Even their ISA now pays 0.01%!

Has anybody ever won anything good?

Martin Lewis obviously doesn't bank with Natwest. Like i said, their saving rate including ISAs is dropping to 0.01%...no, not a misprint not even 0.1% but 0.01%. I've moved £40,000 across to premium bonds because it's easy to do, if i left that in my Natwest savings account in an entire year i would get a whopping £4 interest! So to break even with the premium bonds, i only need to win £25 once in the next 6 years!

Lol 4?? Well that's not many...but 54 years is a lot of draws!

My holder number is over 288 million, that's a lot of holdery peeps. How does that even work?? There aren't 288 million people in the UK! I thought you had to be a UK resident to buy em? Maybe not. I dunno.
