It is run by National Savings and Investments (NS&I), with the winners being created randomly.
With that said, here are the bondholders from Hampshire named in this month’s draw.

Every month, only two winners take home £1 million, but there are still plenty of other prizes available from the bonds.
In the prize draw, Hampshire and the Isle of Wight are grouped as a region, and no one won a £1 million prize in March.
However, three people did manage to win £100,000 prizes, who had the bond numbers:
- 526LH009866

The prize money won was split up in the county like so:

- £25,000 – 10
- £10,000 – 47
- £5,000 – 49
- £1,000 – 577
The overall total won by Hampshire and Isle of Wight residents for March 2026 was £2,242,00. This was a slight increase from last month’s total of £2,205,000.

How are Premium Bonds winners decided?
According to the NS&I website, they use a system called ERNIE (Electronic Random Number Indicator Equipment) to decide the winners.

It is “powered by quantum technology, which uses light” to help it produce enough random numbers for a monthly prize draw in around 20 minutes.
The website adds: “Using light, ERNIE 5 generates random numbers that are matched against eligible Bond numbers to determine the lucky winners.
“And because it’s random, every Bond number, whether it has 8, 9, 10 or 11 digits, has a separate and equal chance of winning a prize.”
