National Savings and Investment s ( NS&I ) has recently conducted its regular monthly prize draw . This month's jackpot winners come from Kirklees and Sheffield, with winning bonds numbered 150EN423722 and 513EP525664, respectively—purchased in January 2009 and September 2022, NS&I confirmed on Monday, February 3.
Adding to the intrigue, four bond purchasers from as far back as October 2024 saw their numbers come up; Ealing's Bond 599XX274163 and Bristol's Winning Bond 597SP775933 stood out. Additionally, bond codes 597AR806603 and 596QF32316 were drawn from Hampshire and Isle Of Wight and in Gwent Valleys. On its website, NS&I proudly boasts a unique guarantee, stating: 'Most banks only guarantee your savings up to £85,000. We're the only provider that secures 100% of your savings, however much you invest. We're backed by HM Treasury and we've been helping people save for over 160 years. Today, over 24 million customers save with us.' It further emphasizes: 'We created Premium Bonds and you can only get them from us. Open an account and you could win big in our monthly prize draw.' The thrill of discovering which locations luck favors each month is part of Premium Bonds' allure, as reported by Birmingham Live. However, NS&I adheres to strict rules regarding winner privacy, keeping prize-winning locations deliberately vague to protect winners' anonymity and safeguard personal information. 'Each customer is assigned to a town, local authority, county or Government Standard Region and country. When a winner is assigned to a town with less than 100,000 holders assigned to it, then we use the following hierarchy until we find a level where that area has at least 100,000 Premium Bonds holders,' it states. 'For large towns and cities that are divided into local authorities or boroughs, we quote the area with the fewest customers over the 100,000 reporting limit. This may mean the list quotes a local authority area or borough instead of the town or city.' 'For Premium Bonds holders living outside the UK, we only publish the country when there are at least 100,000 holders living there. Otherwise, we publish the area as 'overseas'.
