What are Premium Bonds?

Premium Bonds are a unique savings product offered by National Savings and Investments (NS&I). Unlike traditional savings accounts that pay interest, Premium Bonds offer the chance to win tax-free prizes every month. Each £1 invested is assigned a unique bond number, entered into a monthly draw using ERNIE (Electronic Random Number Indicator Equipment), a sophisticated random number generator. Prizes range from £25 to a potential £1 million jackpot.

How to Check if You've Won

Checking your Premium Bonds is simple. You can use the NS&I website's prize checker, the NS&I app, or even ask Alexa! You'll need your holder's number (found on your bond record or app) or your NS&I number. Millions of pounds worth of prizes remain unclaimed each year, so it's worth checking, even if you haven't recently purchased bonds.

How are Premium Bond Winners Chosen?

ERNIE 5, powered by quantum technology, randomly selects winning bond numbers. This cutting-edge system ensures every bond, regardless of its value or age, has an equal chance of winning. The draw itself is incredibly fast, generating enough random numbers for the entire monthly prize draw in roughly 20 minutes.

Conclusion

The March 2025 Premium Bonds draw has once again created numerous winners, highlighting the potential for significant tax-free returns. Whether you're a seasoned Premium Bonds investor or considering joining, remember to check your numbers! You could be the next lucky winner.
