Two Premium Bonds holders have bagged the jackpot in the August National Savings & Investment prize draw - one of which only purchased their winning bond seven months ago. Roughly 6.2 million tax-free prizes worth a total of £433 million will be paid to Premium Bond prize draw winners in the August draw. You can do this by using the Premium Bonds prize checker app, visiting the NS&I website or asking Alexa. As Premium Bonds do not expire, it’s worth checking if you have any prizes waiting for you even if you bought them years ago. We look at the alternatives to Premium Bonds in a separate piece.
