NS&I announces November Premium Bonds prize winners – some unclaimed | Personal Finance | Finance
The NS&I Premium Bond prize winners have been announced for November, including two new lucky millionaires. Premium Bonds are a savings account offered by National Savings & Investments (NS&I), one of the largest savings institutions in the UK, backed by the Treasury.
The accounts don’t earn interest traditionally and consistently. Instead, each bond is entered into a monthly, randomly generated prize draw. Between £25 and £50,000 can be invested in the account overall, and prizes of up to £1million can be won every month. NS&I has released the full list of November’s high-value winners, with savers from Shropshire and York receiving the jackpot prizes.
The first winning bond number of the million-pound prize is 258GE105589 to a bondholder based in Shropshire. This winner purchased their winning Bond in October 2015 and holds £50,000 in Premium Bonds.
The second £1million jackpot winner is based in York. Their winning Bond number is 524KB804512, and it was purchased in February 2024. They also hold a total of £50,000 in Premium Bonds.
The full list of high value winners has been published on NS&I’s website.
The prize fund rate for this month’s prize draw is 3.6%, and the odds of any £1 Bond number winning a prize are 22,000 to one.
