The June Premium Bonds draw from NS&I has revealed the jackpot winners Two savers have become millionaires, while numerous others have won smaller prizes

Following NS&I's confirmation of the June Premium Bonds prize draw winners, two savers have awakened millionaires.

Leeds resident 662EK268242 was the first person to receive £1 million. They have 42,425 Premium Bonds and purchased the winning bond in February 2026.

The second winner, who bought their winning bond, 573GA618329, in March 2024, is from Cheshire and West Chester. They own 33,800 in total.

It is the second time someone from Cheshire or West Chester has won the grand prize, and it is the fifth time someone from Leeds has done so.

Agent Million, an anonymous NS&I employee who travels the nation to tell jackpot winners of their newfound wealth, will have knocked on the doors of both of this month's £1 million prize winners.

Although the winners of the June jackpot have already been revealed, holders of Premium Bonds can learn that they have won smaller prizes as of June 2.

How to find out if you won the prize draw in June.

The Premium Bonds prize draw jackpot winners will be personally informed of their victory by NS&Is Agent Million.

According to NS&I, bondholders can check the day following the first working day of each month to see if they have won prizes worth between £25,000 and £100,000. You can ask Alexa, visit the NS&I website, or use the Premium Bonds prize checker app. Holders of Premium Bonds can start checking on June 2, 2026.

The prize checker website and app will display the prizes you have won that month, as well as any prizes you have won in the last six draws and any older prizes you haven't yet claimed. To access your account, simply make sure you have your bond or NS&I number on hand.

Even if you purchased Premium Bonds years ago, it might be worthwhile to see if there are any rewards waiting for you because they never expire.

Since draws started in 1957, NS&I reports that over 99 percent of prizes have been paid to winners; however, millions of Premium Bonds prizes remain unclaimed.

For instance, a June 2023 prize worth £25,000 in Cheshire and West Chester has not yet been claimed.
