£1 Million Premium Bonds Winners! Have You Checked Your Account?
Okay, so, big news for Premium Bonds holders! National Savings and Investments (NS&I) just announced the results of the June 2025 prize draw, and let me tell you, there are some seriously happy people out there. I mean, who wouldn't be thrilled to find out they'd just won a million quid?
Two Millionaires Made!
Two lucky ducks, one from Stockport and another from Edinburgh, each snagged a whopping £1 million jackpot. Can you imagine? The Stockport winner bought their winning bond back in November 2005 – talk about patience paying off! Their bond was worth £5,000 at the time, but hey, who's counting, right? The Edinburgh winner's story is a bit more recent; they bought their lucky £5,000 bond in February 2019.
Both winners had the maximum holding of £50,000 in their Premium Bonds accounts. Honestly, it makes you wonder if I should be upping my contributions!
But It's Not Just About the Big Wins
While those £1 million wins are definitely eye-catching, NS&I also awarded over 5.9 million prizes in total, worth over £416 million! That's a lot of happy savers.
There were plenty of other substantial prizes too. We're talking about a whole lot of £100,000 wins, a fair few £50,000 and £25,000 prizes, and even more at the £10,000, £5,000, and lower tiers. It really does show that even smaller investments have a chance to win big.
- Remember, every £1 Premium Bond has an equal chance to win, with odds of 22,000 to 1.
- The prize fund rate is currently 3.8%.
