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.
