@Crocidolite11 But while it's there there's always a chance. I'm lucky enough to have other money so losing potential value on this pot doesn't really matter to me.
I have owned a £10 premium bond since 1979. It was given to me as a Christening present (at a time when it was very vogue to give such presents). Like a modern stablecoin, it synthesizes interest by making you eligible for randomized gifts and awards.
Technically, you’re entered into a monthly prize draw and have the same chances as everyone else.
The draw supposedly uses a dedicated random-number system called ERNIE (Electronic Random Number Indicator Equipment).
ERNIE has been in use since 1957, although the system has been upgraded multiple times.
In 2019, NS&I introduced the fifth-generation machine, “ERNIE 5”, which supposedly uses quantum technology (light-based random number generation) rather than the older thermal noise approach.
I have no idea if ERNIE 5 is reliable or not.
All I know is that every now and then, I like to check in on my bond to confirm it is indeed the worst random-income investment a godparent could ever have gifted their godchild.
I am glad to report, as of today, that is still the case.
These finally came in!

@secretclubprov In our scratch stroke play you'd get maybe 4/5 people playing 36 holes in the day, so this year they've changed it to 2 rounds over 2 weekends and I'm guessing a lot more players will enter. Probably due to family commitments and older ones like me just don't do 36 in a day
