Title: Luck of the draw !
Post by: Flying Bomb on October 06, 2022, 09:52:29 AM
A teacher I know told me about two parents who are rather poor but their children are well mannered and being bought up well.

So, I have just sent them some money, anonymously, to help them get through the winter etc'

I do have Premium bonds and just this morning I find that I have
won, in this months draw, the biggest prize I have ever had in 40 years !,
Isn't that a nice story.

Nice indeed. I'm not at all sure that this was a reward for your generosity but hey it may be by some mysterious means.

I never did any good with Premium Bonds but somebody here (Jackeline maybe?) is a fan who has posted about her wins before.

I have had 9 x £25 wins in 6 years, I live in hopes of the big one.  Congratulations Flying Bomb on your win and doing something nice with it.

I've had some Premium Bonds for 60 years & never had a sniff.

I've had a few £10 wins on the Postcode Lottery.

Well done you, if you see a family struggling & are in a position to help I think it's great.
