£1million Premium Bonds jackpot is won in Sussex

Premium Bonds are savings managed by NS&I on behalf of the government. Instead of earning interest, investors are entered into a monthly random draw with prizes ranging from £1million to £25. The maximum bond holding allowed is £50,000.

In September, one of the million-pound top prizes was won by someone in West Sussex with a holding of £18,101. The winning bond, number 388VE682612, was purchased in April, 2020.

The other top prize was won by a holder from Manchester, whose winning bound was bought in February this year.

The list of high-value winners for September featured dozens of holders from Sussex who shared more than £1.6million.

Nine people – six from West Sussex, two from East Sussex and one from Brighton & Hove – each won the second-top prize of £100,000, while eight – five from West Sussex and three from Brighton & Hove – each won £50,000.
