The largest ever national savings premium bonds draw is due to take place in June, featuring three extra jackpots in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the first ever draw.
National Savings &Investments (NS&I) has announced that five separate draws will take place in June as opposed to the usual two, that anyone with national savings is eligible to enter. The estimated total prize fund of the June draw is £110 million, representing the largest prize fund to date.
Five individual £1 million jackpot prizes will be available and there are an estimated 1.5 million other tax-free prizes. As such, the odds of winning any national savings premium bonds prize with a £1 bond will be 24,000 to one.
"June marks 50 years since the first ever premium bond draw, yet Premium Bonds continue to be one of the most unique and popular ways of saving," remarked Sally Swait, premium bonds manager.
"The excitement combined with the peace of mind that comes with knowing you get your money back at anytime has made them a British institution."
Two premium bond holders in the UK recently won a £1 million jackpot each in Aprils double draw.
