NS&I has announced the winners of the June 2026 Premium Bonds prize draw, with two savers from Leeds and Cheshire West and Chester each winning £1 million. The first winning bond number, 662EK268242, belongs to a holder in Leeds who purchased the bond in February 2026 and holds £42,425 in Premium Bonds. The second jackpot winner, based in Cheshire West and Chester, holds bond number 573GA618329, bought in March 2024, with a total holding of £33,800.
The prize fund rate for June is 3.3%, and the odds of any £1 bond winning a prize are 23,000 to one. Premium Bonds are a savings account offered by NS&I, backed by the Treasury, where instead of earning interest, each bond is entered into a monthly prize draw. Prizes range from £25 to £1 million.
Savers can check if they have won from June 2 via the NS&I website or prize checker app, using their holder's number. Currently, 2,754,285 prizes worth £118,216,175 remain unclaimed, though NS&I says over 99% of prizes have been paid since the draw began in 1957. To avoid missing prizes, NS&I recommends having winnings paid directly into a bank account or reinvested into Premium Bonds up to the £50,000 limit.
NS&I recently announced that from July, the prize fund rate will increase to 3.8%, and the odds of winning will shorten to 22,000 to one, giving customers more chances to win.
