Premium Bond winners for September 2023 with two £1million prizes up for grabs
Premium Bond winners for September have been announced today.
Each month, there are two big £1million prizes up for grabs. The first big winner for the September draw lives in Norwich and they hold £30,000 in Premium Bonds. They bought their winning bond 501CJ068508 in May 2022.
The second £1million winner is from Hampshire And Isle Of Wight with the bond number 277QT743538. Their winning bond was purchased in July 2016 and they hold £30,244 in Premium Bonds.
Premium Bonds are a savings product by National Savings & Investment (NS&I) - but instead of getting interest on your money, you're entered into a monthly prize draw. This means your chance of getting any money back is completely down to chance - and you may not win anything at all.
You get a unique bond number for every £1 invested and each month, you can win between £25 and £1million tax free. There are just two £1million prizes up for grabs each month, compared to one million £25 prizes handed out and almost 4.7 million £50 and £100 prizes.
Premium Bond winners for February announced - two people are £1million richer
The minimum amount you can have invested in Premium Bonds is £25, and the maximum is £50,000. You can cash in all or part of your Premium Bonds at any time.

How to check if you're a winner
The easiest way to see if you've won is to use the NS&I prize checker online, or the Premium Bonds prize checker app. Customers can choose to have their prizes paid into their bank account, or to have them reinvested into new Premium Bonds.
You should be emailed or sent a text message from NS&I if you've won. The odds of a bond winning each month are 21,000 to 1 for every £1 bond - but as we've mentioned above, most prizes are for smaller amounts.
NS&I recently announced its prize rate has risen from 4% to 4.65% from its September 2023 draw - the highest level since March 1999. NS&I previously said it estimates an extra £66million will be added to the prize fund from this month, with 269,000 extra prizes up for grabs.
However, the jackpot prize of £1million is still awarded to only two winners.
