NS&I retail director Jill Waters said: “One of this month’s winners has won £1 million with Premium Bonds after just ten months, whilst the other waited nearly ten years to hit the jackpot. This just goes to show that, whether it is months or years, customers up and down the country can win big and feel the magic of Premium Bonds.”
How to check if you are a premium bond winner
