Unclaimed prizes
Premium Bonds prize winners receive notifications of their winnings if they have registered their contact details. However, there are instances where customers relocate or forget to update their contact details with NS&I.
This can lead to unclaimed prizes, especially for those who opt to receive their prizes via cheque rather than bank transfer. People with original paper bonds can register them online or by calling the helpline on 08085 007 007.
Currently, there are 2,516,285 unclaimed Premium Bonds prizes worth £93,830,100 waiting to be claimed.
