June 2026 Draw: The Two £1 Million Jackpot Winners

The first £1 million jackpot went to a bondholder from Leeds, winning with bond number 662EK268242. They bought the winning bond in February 2026 and held a total of £42,425 in premium bonds. That is a remarkable result: a bond purchased just four months ago delivering the top prize.

The second £1 million prize went to a bondholder from Cheshire West and Chester, winning with bond number 573GA618329, purchased in March 2024, with a total holding of £33,800.

It is the fifth time someone from Leeds has won the top £1 million prize, and the second time someone from Cheshire and West Chester has taken the jackpot.

Norfolk’s £1.3 Million June Result—By the Numbers

Norfolk delivered one of its strongest monthly results on record in June 2026.

There were 355 big local winners in June 2026. 

  • Averaging £3,703 each. Four people won £100,000
  • Three took home £50,000
  • Five won £25,000
  • 18 won £10,000. 

A total of 33 winners took £5,000, with hundreds more winning £1,000.

One standout story came from a Norfolk saver with just £50 in bonds purchased in the 1980s who walked away with a £5,000 prize in June, proof that small, long-held bond portfolios can still compete.

How to Check if You Have Won

NS&I Retail Director Andrew Westhead confirmed, “The quickest way to check if you have won a prize is to use our Premium Bonds prize checker app, check online, or even ask Alexa from the second working day of each month onwards.”

Three ways to check right now:

  • NS&I Prize Checker App — download from the App Store or Google Play
  • NS&I website—visit nsandi.com and enter your bond or NS&I number
  • Amazon Alexa — ask “Alexa, did I win Premium Bonds?”

The prize checker app and website show prizes won that month, anything won in the previous six draws, and any older unclaimed prizes. Prizes do not expire, so it is worth checking older holdings too.

What Changes in July 2026

The June draw is the last under the current prize structure. From the July draw, NS&I is increasing the prize fund rate from 3.3% to 3.8% and improving the odds of winning from 23,000 to 1 to 22,000 to 1. That means more prizes in circulation and a marginally better chance for every bond held. There are now 24 million people taking part in the government-backed savings scheme, with more than £127 billion banked.

The improved July rate makes Premium Bonds more competitive against easy-access savings accounts, several of which currently offer around 4.5–5.0% AER. The gap narrows further when tax-free status is factored in; all Premium Bond prizes are free of UK income tax and capital gains tax.
