Four Premium Bonds holders win massive prizes with lower than £1,000!

Every month, Premium Bond holders eagerly wait to find out whether they have won a big prize in NS&I’s prize draw.

With more than 24million customers, Premium Bonds are the nation’s favourite savings product. 

And while they don’t offer a guaranteed return, many savers enjoy the thrill of checking to see whether they have won a huge sum each month, all without losing their original stake, even those with smaller holdings. 

In June’s draw, four lucky Premium Bonds holders have won some of the biggest Premium Bonds prizes with holdings of less than £1,000. 

Juicy returns: Four lucky Premium Bonds holders have scooped top £100k and £50k with holdings of less than £1,000

The three biggest prize amounts up for grabs in the Premium Bonds draw are the fabled £1million jackpot prizes – of which there are just two – the £100,000 prizes and the £50,000 prizes.

In the latest draw, there were 87 £100,000 prizes up for grabs and 174 of £50,000. 

A Premium Bonds saver has bagged a £100,000 prize with a holding of just £300.

The lucky winner, from West Yorkshire, purchased their winning bond just seven months ago in November 2023.

Meanwhile, another Premium Bonds holder based in Berkshire scooped a £100,000 prize from a bond worth £700 which they purchased in August 1998, almost 26 years ago.

A Premium Bonds holder from Bridgend And Neath Port Talbot has managed to turn £100 into £50,000 after winning one of the £50,000 prizes today. That’s a 49,900 per cent return. 

They purchased their winning bond in February 2006.

Another Premium Bonds holder based in Preston won a £50,000 prize with a £650 holding. They put their money into Premium Bonds in December 2006.

Both £1million jackpot prizes were scooped by Premium Bonds holders with the maximum investment of £50,000 this month.

The winner of the first £1million prize, from Southampton, purchased their winning bond in February 2019. While the winner of the second £1million prize purchased theirs in January 2017.

There were 87 £100,000 prizes and 174 £50,000 prizes in this month’s Premium Bonds prize draw.

A total of 5.9million prizes worth £455million will be paid out in the June 2024 prize draw. There were 124.1billion bond numbers eligible for the draw.
