Four fortunate individuals who invested in Premium Bonds in December have each been awarded £100,000. The bonds purchased by the winners were only eligible for the draw starting in February 2026, as ownership for a full month is required for inclusion. One recipient acquired a £50 bond in December 2025.
Among the winners, one resides in Essex and holds a total of £19,150 in Premium Bonds. Another winner from Brighton and Hove holds £38,025 in total, with their winning bond valued at £13,000. The remaining two winners, each holding £50,000 in Premium Bonds, are located in Cheshire and Hampshire/Isle of Wight.
In the latest draw, two lucky individuals secured £1 million Premium Bond prizes. One winner is based in Liverpool, while the other hails from Central Bedfordshire.
Premium Bonds, a savings product offered by National Savings & Investment (NS&I), offer a chance to participate in monthly prize draws instead of receiving a fixed interest rate. The prize amounts vary from £25 to £1 million, with a higher number of smaller prizes compared to the larger sums.
The odds of winning a prize with each bond are 22,000 to 1 monthly. Winners are usually notified by email or text message from NS&I, giving them the option to have the prize deposited into their bank account or reinvested in Premium Bonds. The current prize fund rate, similar to an interest rate, stands at 3.60% since the August 2025 draw.
Recent data revealed the luckiest locations for winning Premium Bond prizes, with Hampshire and the Isle of Wight having 42 recipients of the second-largest prize of £100,000 in 2025. Essex, Outer London, Norwich, and Cumbria also had significant prize winners in the previous year.
