While most people struggle through ‘Awful April’ a few lucky savers are celebrating winning big in the NS&I Premium Bonds prize draw. As well as making two new millionaires, one customer with just £300 in their savings also walked away with a whopping £50,000.

There were more than 5.9 million prizes drawn this month worth over £412 million including the £1m jackpots. The first Bond number drawn was 494WG724922 held by a winner based in South Yorkshire. They held savings of £43,165 in Premium Bonds and purchased their winning Bond in March 2022, to become the third jackpot winner from the county.

Each £1 Bond is entered into a monthly prize draw with the chance to win tax-free prizes ranging from £25 up to the £1 million jackpot.
