Were you one of the lucky winners in October's National Savings and Investments (NS&I) Premium Bonds draw? Once again, two lucky players won £1m each this month.

The first winning bond number drawn was 333XB827779 and belongs to a winner in Outer London. The jackpot winner holds £50,000 in premium bonds and purchased the winning bond in June 2018. The win makes them the ninth winner from the Outer London area.

The second winning bond number drawn was 226HV323415 and the winner comes from Suffolk. The winner holds £50,000 in premium bonds and purchased their winning bond in July 2014. They are the ninth millionaire from Suffolk.

For the October 2022 draw, NS&I paid out almost 5 million prizes of more than £218m in value.

October’s prize draw also saw an extra £79m added to the prize pot, with the prize fund rate increasing from 1.40% to 2.20% — the biggest single increase in more than 40 years — and the odds improving from 24,500 to one to 24,000 to one.

The total paid out by NS&I in the 65 years since the first draw in June 1957 now stands at £23.6bn, from 582 million prizes.

Jill Waters, NS&I retail director, said: “Premium Bonds are not just about the £1m jackpot prize — from this month, we’ve increased the prize fund rate and added a massive £79m to the prize pot, meaning people up and down the country will have more chances to win prizes ranging from £50 up to £100,000, as well as our two jackpot prizes.”

As well as the two £1m bonds, there are 18 winners of £100,000, 36 of £50,000, 71 of £25,000, 178 worth £10,000 and 357 with a £5,000 prize.

The chances of all bonds winning are the same, regardless of when or where they were bought.

Even if you did not get a winning ticket, be sure to check any unclaimed prizes. In Outer London, there are 246,510 unclaimed prizes worth £8,613,300. The largest unclaimed prize is £100,000 and is from the February 2007 prize draw. The oldest unclaimed prize in Outer London is from November 1961 and is worth £25.

In Suffolk, there are 22,656 unclaimed prizes with a total value of £725,300. £1,000 is the largest unclaimed prize in Suffolk and there are nine of these that were won between the May 1986 and December 2020 prize draw. The oldest unclaimed prize is from May 1967 and is worth £25.

Prizes do not expire, meaning you can claim as far back as the original 1957 draw. Premium Bonds holders can reduce the chances of their prizes becoming unclaimed by managing their Premium Bonds online or opting to have any prizes paid directly into their bank accounts by BACS, with notification by email.

Customers can check the Premium Bonds prize checker on the NS&I website or download the app to see if they have won.
