The winners of the October prize draw were announced by NS&I, and millions of holders of Premium Bonds woke up richer.

The most fortunate of these were the winners of this month's jackpot, who won £1 million from NS&I and instantly became millionaires.

The first is situated in Scotland and is the fortunate owner of bond 498FZ511907. They owned 10,150 Premium Bonds before they won the jackpot, and they purchased the winning bond in April 2022. They are the 30th jackpot winner from Scotland.

In January 2023, the second jackpot winner, who lives in Greater Manchester, purchased the winning bond. Their total holdings of Premium Bonds before winning with bond number 524KB804512 were 34,350. They are the fourth jackpot winner from Greater Manchester.

In the days leading up to the announcement, the winners will have received a visit from Agent Million, an anonymous NS&I employee who visits all over the nation to tell jackpot winners of their good fortune.

With over six million other savers winning prizes ranging from £25 to £100,000, this month's Premium Bonds prize draw brought the total prize pot to over 399 million, excluding the winners of October's jackpot.

2,808 of these winners received substantial awards ranging from £5,000 to £100,000.

As for the October draw, two winners received 25,000 and 10,000 from Premium Bonds they bought in September 2025, the most recent month that qualified.

"As autumn approaches, two winners from North East Scotland and Greater Manchester are starting the season a million pounds richer," stated Andrew Westhead, NS&I Retail Director.
