I think you can only buy £100 minimum and £30000 maximum of PB's today.
Many years ago they could be purchased on a individual basis.
I have a single PB bought for my birthday in 1967...........I still have it.............. ;D ;D :y

Make sure that you have notified them of any change of address, even if you have bought any bonds from a new address and have expected them to change their records for all your holding. They don't.
We added to our holding from a new address and just assumed that their records would be updated, but they weren't. The old bonds still carried the old address, even though we had sent notification of the change, and two winnings on them were simply filed away when the correspondence was returned to them, even though we had bought bonds from the new address under the same holder's number.
I found out by accident when checking the numbers on the website, 2 years after the event, and had to complete a new change of address form to satisfy them.
We just gave up bothering to claim lost interest.

My Mum bought me one for may birthday in the same year.
Post office cant track the number though, apparently the numbering system has changed.
Maybe thats why we dont win, maybe our numbers are not in the pot.

got £100 worth, figure its gotta be better than the lottery.
Never expect a penny out of em, but if I win even the smallest prize, I'll be happy.

I've had some since 1965 and never won anything :(
