Premium Bonds are a UK savings product issued by National Savings and Investments (NS&I). Instead of earning interest, savers are entered into a monthly prize draw for tax-free awards up to £1 million. A maximum of £50,000 can be deposited through the scheme.
Winners of smaller amounts can check their results on the NS&I website.
