There were more than 5.8m prizes awarded this month, paying out over £430m to Premium Bonds holders. Andrew Westhead, NS&I Retail Director, said: “We're delighted to announce that February's Premium Bonds draw has brought million-pound wins to Kirklees and Sheffield.
“The Sheffield win marks the city's fourth Premium Bonds millionaire and is exactly two years since the last jackpot win there in February 2023. Yorkshire and the Humber may be on a jackpot winning streak, but thanks to ERNIE, more than £430 million in prizes have gone to bond holders up and down the country this month.”


Customers use Premium Bonds as a way to save but unlike traditional savings accounts where they would earn interest, instead bond holders get entered into a monthly prize draw with the chance of winning anything from £25 to £1m. The winning numbers are generated randomly by ERNIE so it means every bond has an equal chance of being drawn.
Bonds cost £1 each, with a minimum investment of £25 and a maximum permitted amount of £50,000. Unlike other savings accounts where you will earn some interest on your deposit, Premium Bonds instead offer the excitement of potentially winning tax-free prizes and is backed by HM Treasury, so your savings are safe.

Unclaimed Premium Bond prizes
Premium Bonds prize winners receive notifications of their winnings if they have registered their contact details. However, there are instances where customers relocate or forget to update their contact details with NS&I.
This can lead to unclaimed prizes, especially for those who opt to receive their prizes via cheque rather than bank transfer. People with original paper Bonds can register them online or by calling the helpline on 08085 007 007. Currently, there are 2,516,285 unclaimed Premium Bonds prizes worth £93,830,100 waiting to be claimed.
Customers can choose to have their prizes paid directly to their bank account or reinvested into more Premium Bonds. Nine in 10 prizes are already paid this way as it is quicker than waiting for a cheque and then paying it in.
