Premium Bond prizes worth a collective £92million are still waiting to be claimed - with savers urged to check now to see if they're owed cash. This includes eight prizes worth £100,000 each, 12 prizes worth £50,000 each and 27 prizes worth £25,000 each. There are also more than 1.8million smaller £25 prizes that have not yet been claimed. In total, there are almost 2.5million prizes that haven't been cashed in within 18 months of winning, according to new figures given to MoneySavingExpert.com.
There are many reasons why you may have won a Premium Bond prize and not yet received your money. For example, you may not receive prizes automatically if you have older bonds, as you could only opt to have your prizes paid directly into your bank account from 2011 onwards.
It is also possible that your contact details are out of date, which means you may have missed a cheque in the post if you've moved house. National Savings and Investments (NS&I) says winners can choose whether it can contact you by text, email or post.
Premium Bonds are a type of savings product but instead of earning interest, you're entered into a monthly prize draw. The prizes start at £25 and go up to £1million - but your chance of winning anything at all is down to luck. Each month, there are just two £1million prizes handed out, in comparison to millions of much smaller prizes.
You can use the NS&I online prize checker tool, or the Premium Bonds prize checker app on the App Store or Google Play, to see if you've won. You can also write to NS&I with your name, address and bond number by sending a letter to: NS&I, Sunderland, SR43 2SB. If you're a winner, you can have the money paid into their bank account, or reinvest it into new Premium Bonds.
