NS&I says it normally takes around eight working days from the point of receiving your application to process your request (unless you opted to defer the payment until after the next prize draw).
How is interest paid from the NS&I Investment account?
Income Bonds We round each month’s interest up or down to the nearest penny. At the current rate, this means that balances of less than £646 will not receive an interest payment every month.
Older bonds are excluded from the draw If you keep a close eye on the winning bonds it can seem like newer bonds have a greater chance of winning, but this is a result of the majority of bonds having been bought since 2000.
Can I cash in old national savings stamps?
ANSWER: U.S. savings bond stamps were first sold in 1941 as a way to inspire loyalty and investment in the U.S. government during World War II, according to Sheila Nelson, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Savings Bond Division in Washington. These days, the stamps can be exchanged for cash or Series EE savings bonds.

A There are all sorts of theories. However there is absolutely no evidence that holding premium bonds in a single block has a better chance of winning.
Our Premium Bonds give you the chance to win cash prizes from £25 up to £1 million in our monthly prize draw. If you’re a lucky winner, you won’t have to pay a penny in tax on your prize. If you already hold some of our Savings Certificates, you won’t have to pay tax on any returns you earn.
