As February rolls in, it’s time for Premium Bond holders to check their luck! The latest draw for Premium Bonds will take place on Monday, February 3, 2025, providing another opportunity for millions to discover if they’ve struck it rich.
With the chance to win substantial cash prizes, including the coveted £1 million jackpot, excitement is in the air.
What Are Premium Bonds?
Premium Bonds are a unique investment product offered by National Savings and Investments (NS&I) in the UK.
Unlike traditional savings accounts, Premium Bonds do not earn interest. Instead, every £1 bond entered into the draw has a chance to win cash prizes ranging from £25 to £1 million.
Each month, two lucky bondholders become millionaires, thanks to the Electronic Random Number Indicator Equipment (ERNIE), which randomly selects winning numbers.
