Prize counts as published by NS&I. Odds are calculated from the published prize volumes and the 22,000:1 headline odds, so they are close estimates rather than official figures.

When results land
NS&I names its two £1 million jackpot winners on the first working day of every month, along with the £100,000 and £50,000 winners. The rest of the draw — everything from £25 upwards — is published the following day.
This page is refreshed each month once the full breakdown is out, so bookmark it and come back at the start of the month.

Are Premium Bonds worth it right now?
The 3.8% prize fund rate is an average across all bond holders, not a return you are promised. Because a slice of the fund goes to a handful of very large prizes, most savers earn less than the headline rate — and plenty win nothing at all in a given year. If you want certainty, compare it against the best cash ISA rates, where the interest is both tax-free and guaranteed.
