Every month, savers have the chance to win big prizes as the Premium Bonds winning numbers are announced. There are now 24 million people taking part in the government-backed savings scheme, with more than £127bn banked.Premium bonds are an investment product from the National Savings and Investment (NS&I), which is owned by the government. Each month, millions of savers are entered into a prize draw to win cash prizes ranging from £25 to £1 million, with two millionaires made at every draw.Every £1 entered has a 22,000-to-one chance of winning. The minimum investment is £25, while the maximum is £50,000.These savings don’t accrue interest as with regular bank accounts, but are put up against a random digital prize picker called ‘Ernie’ – the Electronic Random Number Indicator Equipment.The date of this month’s draw is Monday 1 June. The results of this draw are available a day later and released by the NS&I here.What are the chances of winning with Premium Bonds?There are many Premium Bond winners every month, but the actual chance of winning remains fairly low. Most people will never win a prize, meaning their investment will stay the same. However, the scheme is also risk-free, meaning money won’t be lost either.Analysis by money expert Martin Lewis found that the ‘interest rate’ on Premium Bonds accounts is 4 per cent when all winnings are considered – but notes most people won’t see anything like this. Many savings accounts in the UK also offer a higher interest rate than this, which will be far more consistent.The distribution of prizes changes slightly every month.
