LAST week,

I invited readers to let me know if they had ever won more than nine Premium Bond prizes in a single month. This followed a challenge from Norwich-based Paul Parsons who revealed he and his wife Patricia had once won nine prizes between them. A number of you came forward (thank you) to say you had trumped the Parsons, but the ‘winners’ were Neil and Helen Hyde, from Worthing in West Sussex. Neil, a 50-year-old estate agent, and Helen, a part-time school assistant, scooped 13 prizes last September, totalling £425. Conversely, Jenny Norman, from near Ipswich in Suffolk, hasn’t won a penny for three months – despite having the maximum holding of £50,000. Husband Ray, a 75-year-old antiques dealer, has promised to let me know if Jenny’s fortunes change for the better on Wednesday.
