A lucky NS&I Premium Bonds player has scooped a prize of £1million. It comes just months after they purchased the bond back in March 2023.

The winner, from Derbeyshire, bought bond, 535MK963637 and has become the first person to win NS&I’s jackpot in October. The second winner, a bondholder from Gloucestershire, purchased their lucky bond, 203JB525288, in February 2023.

Both winners had £50,000 and £29,000 invested in Premium Bonds respectively at the time of their win. NS&I has said that there are other notable winners from this month.

One Bond holder scooped a £100,000 prize with only £275 invested in Premium Bonds and another won a prize from a Bond purchased in 1977, Express reports.

Andrew Westhead, retail director at NS&I, said: "Congratulations to our newest Premium Bonds millionaires from Derbyshire and Gloucestershire. I’m sure these wins will help to bring some autumnal cheer to our lucky Bond holders.

"But it’s not just about our jackpot winners though - this month saw one £100,000 prize go to a holder with just £275 invested, and another to a winner who bought their winning bond 47 years ago back in July 1977.

"This shows that all eligible £1 Premium Bonds, regardless of when they were bought, have an equal chance of winning."
