NS&I Premium Bonds prize draw results for June 2026 are prompting searches across the UK as bondholders check whether their bonds have won a prize this month. Premium Bonds are a savings product issued by National Savings and Investments (NS&I), the UK government-backed savings provider, and are backed in full by the Treasury.
The prize draw runs monthly. Each £1 bond is entered into the draw separately, with prizes ranging from £25 to the two monthly jackpot prizes of £1 million each.
How to check if you have won
NS&I provides several ways to check June 2026 prize draw results:
- NS&I Prize Checker online at nsandi.com - enter your holder number to check all eligible bonds
- NS&I app - available on iOS and Android, log in with your NS&I details
- Premium Bonds prize checker on the NS&I website - updated on the first business day of each month when draws are processed
- Phone - NS&I customer services at 08085 007 007
Winners of prizes up to £5,000 are paid directly into their nominated bank account or by warrant (cheque). Prizes of £5,000 and above are paid by BACS transfer. The two monthly £1 million jackpot winners are notified by NS&I directly before payment.
Current prize fund rate and odds
NS&I sets the annual prize fund rate, which determines the total value of prizes paid out relative to the total bonds eligible. The current annual prize fund rate for Premium Bonds is 4.40%, down from a peak of 4.65% in early 2024. NS&I adjusts the prize fund rate periodically in response to movements in the Bank of England base rate and savings market conditions.
The odds of any individual £1 bond winning a prize in any given monthly draw are 1 in 22,000. The minimum holding is £25 (25 bonds). The maximum holding is £50,000 per person.
Premium Bonds versus savings accounts
Premium Bonds offer tax-free prizes rather than a guaranteed interest rate. Whether they produce a better return than a savings account depends on the holder's tax position, the prize fund rate, and luck. For basic rate taxpayers with a Personal Savings Allowance of £1,000, conventional savings accounts may produce a more predictable return at current rates. For higher and additional rate taxpayers, or those who have exceeded their Personal Savings Allowance, the tax-free nature of Premium Bond prizes carries more value.
NS&I products are 100% backed by the UK Treasury, unlike savings accounts which are protected up to £85,000 per person per institution under the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS).
