How to Check Your Premium Bonds
Premium Bonds holders can check their results through the official NS&I prize checker or the NS&I app.
You will need your holder’s number to check every bond linked to your account. Alternatively, you can enter an individual bond number to see whether it has ever won.
Premium Bonds prizes do not expire. This means older prizes can still be claimed, even if the winning bond dates back several decades. It is also worth making sure your address and contact details are up to date so NS&I can reach you if you win.
