August Premium Bonds Winners Are in - Check to See if You've Won £1 Million
NS&I said 41 North East winners shared about £390,000 in large prizes, including two £100,000 awards.
- On Monday, National Savings and Investments released the August 2026 Premium Bonds results, announcing that two lucky savers have each won the £1 million jackpot.
- Premium Bonds operate as a tax-free, government-backed savings scheme where each £1 bond offers one entry into the monthly draw, with odds of 22,000 to 1.
- One £1 million jackpot went to a saver from Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, while the second top prize was claimed by a winner in Kent who purchased their bond just six months ago in February 2026.
- Savers can determine if their numbers were paired with a prize by visiting the NS&I online prize checker and entering their unique holder's number or NS&I number.
- Most bondholders win nothing in the monthly draw, making major windfalls the exception; those seeking consistent returns may prefer conventional savings accounts despite Premium Bonds' risk-free nature.
