Hi All,

Just wondering if there is an equivalent version of the UK Premium Bonds in Aus?

There isn't one in Australia but you can still buy Premium Bonds with your UK debit card over the phone from here. It's quite easy to do and only take a couple of minutes.

And any winnings are taxable here.

Surely ERNIE wouldn't dob you in to the ATO?

ERNIE's a friggin' computer. They talk to each other. It's what they do.

Speaking of Premium Bonds........

That reminds me that I used to have a bunch of the buggers when I lived in UK, many, many years ago.

I know I didn't cash them in, so they were either lost or stolen somewhere along the track. Is there anyway to check if these bonds are still in my name..........I could be sitting on a fortune ( as the actress said to the Bishop )

Many thanks billymacker

If I find that I've won a couple of bob, the usual 10% finders fee will be yours

I used to get 8 to 12 wins per year up until last year it has droped down to 6 wins and the low prize has gone down from 50 pounds to 25 pounds

My sister and I have had premium bonds for 40 years and have only won the low prize once between us.

Some people have all the luck
