Another month and #UKGovernment #NSANDI #NS&I #PremiumBonds fails to pay out a prize. 8 months in a row now of nothing. And they wonder why I am removing my money from my Bond account. Put your savings into a high interest building society savings account instead. Premium Bonds are a folly now.

E.R.N.I.E stood for the Electronic Random Number Indicator Equipment and is a hardware random number generator built in 1956 to find winners each month for the Post Office Savings Bank and National Savings (now National Savings and Investments, NS&I) Premium Bond prize draw.

Designed by Harry Fensom together with Tommy Flowers, the inventor of Colossus, the first digital electronic programmable computer who both worked at the GPO Research Station at Dollis Hill.
