Whoa! 24 Million Premium Bond Holders Need to Check Their Accounts!
Seriously, have you checked your Premium Bonds lately? I know, I know, it's not exactly the most exciting thing on your to-do list, but hear me out. Millions of pounds in prize money are just sitting there, unclaimed! And a recent update from NS&I means a whopping 24 MILLION Premium Bond holders need to jump on this.
So, what's the deal? Let's dive in.
April's Premium Bonds Bonanza: Millions in Prizes!
National Savings and Investments (NS&I) just announced the April 2025 Premium Bonds winners, and let me tell you, some people are seriously changing their lives! Two lucky ducks snagged the £1 million jackpot – can you even imagine?! But that's not all. Millions of other prizes were given out, totaling over £412 million! That's a lot of money just waiting to be found.
Who Got Rich?
This month's millionaires hail from London and Manchester. The London winner had £50,000 in Premium Bonds, and the Manchester winner had a winning bond worth £25,000. It just goes to show you – you don’t need a fortune invested to win big!
And it wasn’t just the jackpot winners celebrating. Loads of people won £100,000, scattered across the UK – Edinburgh, Cardiff, Birmingham, Bristol, Leeds…you name it! Plus, there were multiple winners of £50,000 and £25,000 prizes. It’s amazing to think about all those lucky people.
How Do I See if I'm a Millionaire (or Almost One)?
Checking your Premium Bonds is super easy, thankfully! You can use the NS&I online prize checker or the app. Just pop in your bond holder number (you can find it on your bond record or in the NS&I app), and see if you're a winner. NS&I also contacts the jackpot winners directly – you’d probably notice that anyway.
Important note: Don’t delay! Unclaimed prizes are available…indefinitely. That means you could leave it for years, and the money's still there!
Why are Premium Bonds Still So Popular?
Premium Bonds offer a fantastic balance of security and that thrilling 'what if' feeling. Your savings are 100% safe, backed by HM Treasury – so you know it's not going anywhere. But, the really exciting part? You could win tax-free prizes, from £25 all the way up to £1 million! It’s a gamble, sure, but the potential payoff is huge.
The odds aren't exactly in your favour (it’s 24,000 to 1 for each bond), but honestly, that chance of winning big is really appealing. Plus, the current prize fund rate is 3.3%, which is pretty competitive compared to some savings accounts.
Don't Miss Out – Check Your Bonds NOW!
Seriously, what have you got to lose? Take a few minutes to check your Premium Bonds on the NS&I website or app. Millions of pounds are waiting to be claimed, and you might just be the next lucky winner. Go on, you deserve a little bit of excitement!
