How can I check if I have earned the Premium Bonds?
Premium Bondholders can check if they have won the Premium Bonds each month through the NS&I Price Checker.
Investors can check if they have won big on Premium Bonds of the Month by entering a unique holder number in the online tool.
You can find your cardholder number on your Bond file by logging into the NS&I online service. The number will either have 10 or nine digits, or eight digits followed by a letter.
NS&I will pay the winnings directly to your bank account or reinvest them in other bonds, depending on what you ask them to do.
For any winnings worth £5,000 or more, NS&I will first need to verify with you by posting a claim form for you to complete and confirm how you wish to be paid.
If you defy the odds and win big, you’ll be notified with an in-person visit.
A representative from NS&I will visit the two £1million winners at their homes the day before the first working day of the month and before the other winners are announced 24 hours later.
What are premium bonds?
NS&I Premium Bonds are a type of savings account that offers tax-free prizes through its monthly drawdown instead of a stable interest rate on your money.
The advantage of premium bonds is that you can invest and withdraw money whenever you want, and have a chance to win big every month.
Each £1 bond has an equal chance of winning one of the high value prizes, ranging from £25 to £1 million.
The minimum you have to pay is £25 and the maximum you can pay is £50,000.
