They have £50,000 in Premium Bonds and they bought the winning bond, 205XQ030808, in May 2013. Both jackpot will have had a visit from NS&I’s Agent Million.
Millions of savers will want to check if they’ve won a Premium Bonds prize as there were more than six million payouts up for grabs this month, worth more than £396 million.
This includes 75 prizes worth £100,000.
While savers with more Premium Bonds have a greater chance of winning, those with a small number can still win – as one high value prize winner proved this month. A saver who has just £750 in Premium Bonds, in West Scotland, has scooped £100,000.
NS&I’s retail director, Andrew Westhead, said: “Our Central Bedfordshire winner shows that you don’t need to have the full amount invested to win big, as every £1 Bond has an equal chance of winning the £1 million jackpot.
"And remember, if you’re moving abroad and want to keep your Premium Bonds, you still need to have a UK bank account.”
How many prizes were there in the August 2025 Premium Bonds prize draw?
A new, lower Premium Bonds prize fund rate took effect from this month's draw, reducing from 3.8% to 3.6%. It meant the total value of prizes was cut this month.
There is no guaranteed interest with Premium Bonds. The odds of winning a prize stand at 22,000 to one per £1 holding.
This month, there were a total of 6,005,404 prizes worth £396,356,500.
The total number of eligible Bond numbers in the draw was 132,118,833,579.
