Overview
- NS&I responded to a social media query from a holder who saw four prizes in the checker but received only one, saying payouts are issued in batches and inviting a direct message for case details.
- Prizes range from £25 to two £1 million jackpots in each monthly draw, with current odds of 22,000 to one for each £1 Bond.
- The prize fund rate stands at 3.6% following reductions this year, with cuts reported in January, April and August.
- Personal finance experts advise reviewing holdings if there have been no wins for a year and considering shifting some money to accounts or ISAs that pay guaranteed interest.
- Coverage reports record engagement, including about 1.4 million savers holding the £50,000 maximum and an estimated £6 billion added this year.
