We normally update the prize checker by the third working day of each month.
Do you have unclaimed prizes?
We currently hold over 680,000 unclaimed Premium Bond prizes worth more than £39 million.
After 18 months, prizes that haven't been cashed in are classified as unclaimed.
There's no time limit for claiming prizes and it's easy to check to see if you've won.

Increase your chances of winning
Setting up a standing order
One of the best ways to boost your chances of winning is by setting up a standing order to buy more Premium Bonds every month.
Once you've bought your first Premium Bonds and we’ve given you a holder's number, you can start investing regularly by standing order.

Invest automatically when you win
Another way to increase your chances of winning is to automatically reinvest any prizes you win into more Premium Bonds.
With an automatically reinvested prize, your Bonds go straight into the very next draw, so you don’t have to wait a full calendar month following the month you bought them.
