Two UK residents are celebrating after each winning £1 million in the April 2025 Premium Bond prize draw.

Issued by National Savings & Investments (NS&I), Premium Bonds work like a lottery, with each bond assigned a unique number and entered into a monthly draw for cash prizes.

Unlike traditional savings accounts, they don’t pay interest, but your money remains secure while giving you the chance to win prizes ranging from £25 to £1 million.

Premium Bonds can be purchased with a minimum investment of £25 and a maximum of £50,000. They are available online via the NS&I website or by post using an application form and cheque.

Launched in 1957, the prize draw relies on the ERNIE system (Electronic Random Number Indicator Equipment) to select winners at random.

Backed by the UK Government, Premium Bonds provide a risk-free way to save while offering the excitement of potential big wins.

Who are the big winners this month?

This month’s first £1 million jackpot winner is from South Yorkshire and holds £43,165 in Premium Bonds. Their winning bond, 494WG724922, was purchased in March 2022.

The second jackpot winner, from Hertfordshire, had the maximum Premium Bond holding of £50,000. Their winning bond, 418AW560890, was bought in October 2020.

While the £1 million prize is the highlight, 78 winners received the second prize of £100,000. In total, NS&I awarded 19,380 “high value” prizes this month.
