If NS&I have know your address since then you will have received any prizes in the post.
Create on line account and see if you have any unclaimed prizes. Somehow I doubt it, but you never know

Some say that you should cash in after 5 years and get some newer ones. Brian

There is no evidence that makes any difference and the new ones won't be in the draw until one month after the end of the month they are bought in. The way to get regular wins is to have lots of them.

The odds of winning are stacked against you - with two bonds you can expect, on average, a win every 2000 years.

I don't think you can even buy small numbers any more. The friends I was talking about had a couple of thousand pounds worth both old then new. I did say it was anecdotal. But randomness is improvable, so how you find out can only be t through statistics. Brian

So does that mean if you actually live to 2000 years there is a higher real chance? Brian

Bollocks. The bond numbers that win are published every month so you can do your own analyses on them. If you have bonds that win you can check the numbers appear in the published results. If you have friends with bonds and they happen to win you can ask them to check their numbers are in the published lists.
It's not rocket science.
