How to see if you’re a Premium Bond prize winner
Premium Bonds holders can check to see if they have won a prize in April’s prize draw by using the nsandi.com prize checker, the official prize checker app or your Alexa-enabled device from Tuesday 4 April 2023.
You will need your Premium Bonds holder’s number to use the website and your NS&I number or holder’s number to check via the prize checker app.

Where to save your money this April
Premium Bonds are one of the nation's most popular savings products. They are the perfect way to start a savings habit, with the minimum investment starting at £25.
And with prize rates rising, they are proving to be a popular product.
For the March draw, the rate rose from 3.15% to 3.3%, creating an extra £15 million in prizes to be won each month.
Premium Bonds customers can add to their Premium Bonds holding quickly and securely, both for themselves or their child, via bank transfer or online.
But those looking for a more reliable return may want to look at some of the rates being offered on savings accounts by banks such as First Direct and Market Harborough Building Society..
