How many people won in the March 2026 Premium Bonds prize draw?
More than £410 million worth of Premium Bonds prizes are being handed out in March’s prize draw.
This brings the total value of all Premium Bonds prizes won since the first draw in June 1957 to March 2026 to £40.3 billion.
Below is the breakdown of prizes for this month’s draw:
The Premium Bonds £1 million prize winners are announced on the first working day of each month. Jackpot winners can expect a visit from Agent Million, NS&I’s anonymous employee, who travels up and down the country informing people they have won.
Premium Bonds holders can check if they have won other prizes ranging from £25 to £100,000 the day after the first working day of each month via the Premium Bonds prize checker app or by visiting the NS&I website. For this month’s draw, this is Tuesday, 3 March.
Make sure you’ve got your Bond or NS&I number to hand so you can access your account.
If you’ve got Premium Bonds but haven’t checked to see if you’ve won anything in a while, it’s worth checking now.
NS&I says over 99% of prizes have been paid to winners since draws began in 1957, but there are still millions of unclaimed Premium Bonds prizes.
The government-backed savings provider says there are currently 2,733,973 prizes worth more than £116 million that haven’t been claimed.
