December's big Premium Bond winners named - including two new millionaires

Two lucky people have just scooped £1million for Christmas, after winning December's Premium Bonds draw.

December 25 has come early for one resident in Stockport, who purchased his bonds in August 2017 - with the number 309GV354472.

He has a total of £36,000 saved in his winning account.

The second jackpot winner is a man from Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, whose winning Bond number is 210SF254870.

He purchased his winning bond six years ago in August 2013, and holds the maximum amount - a total of £50,000.

In total this December, 3,444,075 in prizes worth £98,443,125 will be paid out to lucky winners.

£64 million remains unclaimed - how to find a lost Premium Bond

As well as the three million plus prizes being paid out this month, you may have landed a Premium Bonds prize that you are not aware of.

Currently there are more than 1.6million prizes worth almost £64million still waiting to be claimed by Premium Bond holders.

Premium Bonds may go unclaimed for reasons including if NS&I don’t hold your current address details or if you had Bonds bought as a child but have since forgotten about them.

Customers can make sure that their details are up to date and choose to have any future prizes paid directly into their bank account, by registering to manage their Premium Bonds and NS&I accounts online at nsandi.com/register.

You can find out if any of your Premium Bonds are winners by downloading the prize checker app from the App Store or Google Play, or visit the prize checker at nsandi.com.

Customers manage their Bonds online at nsandi.com and by phone. Alternatively, see our guide here on how to locate a lost Premium Bond.
