Two lucky savers in the UK are each £1 million richer after scooping the top prize in the September 2025 Premium Bonds draw.
Run by National Savings & Investments (NS&I), Premium Bonds work differently from traditional savings accounts.
Instead of paying interest, every bond is entered into a monthly prize draw, offering tax-free prizes from £25 up to the life-changing £1 million jackpot.
While returns aren’t guaranteed, the money you put in is always secure. Bonds can be bought from just £25, with a maximum holding of £50,000, either online via the NS&I website or by post with an application form and cheque.
Winners are randomly selected by ERNIE – the Electronic Random Number Indicator Equipment – which has powered the draws since 1957.
Backed in full by the UK Government, Premium Bonds give savers the reassurance of safety with the added excitement of a potential big win.
Who are the big winners this month?
This month’s first £1 million winner is from County Durham and holds £50,000 in Premium Bonds. Their winning bond, 224BZ748917, was purchased over 10 years ago in June 2014.
The second jackpot winner, from Cumbria, also has £50,000 invested. Their winning bond, 243VC581367, was bought in April 2015.
While the million-pound prizes grab the headlines, 75 people won £100,000 each in September’s draw, with NS&I awarding 18,706 “high value” prizes in total.
