NS&I has announced the lucky winners of this month’s massive Premium Bonds jackpots.
Two savers have become overnight millionaires after the government-backed savings provider published the results of its April 2026 prize draw.
What are the winning Premium Bonds numbers for April 2026?
In total, almost 6million people have won a share of more than £376 million in April 2026.
Prizes range from £25 all the way up to a cool million.
The first jackpot winner comes from Hampshire and the Isle of Wight.
Their winning bond number is 511HH360429.

They bought the lucky bond back in August 2022, and hold the maximum £50,000 allowed in Premium Bonds.
The second millionaire is based in Surrey.
Their winning bond number is 519FV988513.
They also hold the maximum £50,000 in Premium Bonds, having purchased the winning bond in November 2022.
Both winners will have already received a knock at the door from NS&I’s mysterious “Agent Million”, who travels the country delivering the good news to jackpot winners.
In total, 5,951,866 prizes worth £376,455,425 were paid out in April.
As well as the two £1million jackpots, there were 71 prizes of £100,000, 143 prizes of £50,000 and 285 prizes of £25,000.
How can you check if you won the Premium Bonds?
The £1million winners are always told in person by Agent Million.
Everyone else has to wait a little longer.
NS&I updates its prize checker on the day after the first working day of each month, which means smaller prize winners can check their results from Thursday, April 2.
You can do this by downloading the Premium Bonds prize checker app or by visiting the NS&I website and using the prize checker tool.
You will need your holder’s number to hand, which is either nine or 10 digits long, or eight digits followed by a letter – it can be found on your bond record or by logging into your account.
The prize checker will show you any prizes won this month, as well as any older unclaimed prizes sitting in your account.
It is worth checking even if your bonds are old – NS&I says more than 99 per cent of prizes have been paid out since draws began in 1957, but millions of pounds in prizes remain unclaimed.
Premium Bonds don’t pay interest, but each £1 bond gives you one entry into the monthly draw.
Prizes are completely tax-free, which makes them particularly attractive for savers who have already used up their £20,000 annual ISA allowance.
