An Edinburgh resident hit the jackpot today when Premium Bond results for June 2025 were released, revealing a capital local had won the coveted £1 million prize.
Two winners earned the £1 million jackpot with one in Edinburgh along with another lucky bond holder in Stockport.
The Premium Bond holder living in the capital held the bond number 352AC359547. This person also holds £50,000 in Premium Bonds and they bought their winning bond in February 2019.
June's second big winner from Stockport held the maximum of £50,000 in Premium Bonds. Their winning bond 103FE583469 was purchased in November 2005.
There were 131,438,233,006 bond numbers eligible for the draw, reports the Mirror. A total of 5,974,465 prizes worth £416,221,075 will be paid out in the June 2025 prize draw.
Andrew Westhead, NS&I Retail Director, said: "A huge congratulations to our winners in Edinburgh and Stockport. It's particularly exciting to see Edinburgh celebrate its first jackpot win in eight years, while Stockport marks its second jackpot winner in Premium Bonds history.
'It's not just about the jackpot winners though. This month, ERNIE awarded over 5.9 million prizes worth more than £416 million, giving many Premium Bonds holders across the country an exciting summer boost.'
Premium Bonds are a savings product run by National Savings & Investment (NS&I) but instead of getting interest on your money, you're entered into a monthly prize draw.
The prizes start at £25 and go up to £1million - but some months, you may not win anything at all. You get a unique bond number for every £1 invested, and the maximum you can have saved in Premium Bonds is £50,000.
The odds of a bond winning each month are 22,000 to 1 for every £1 bond - but most prizes are for smaller amounts. The prize fund rate - which is described as the the nearest thing Premium Bonds has to an interest rate - is currently 3.80%
You can use the NS&I online prize checker tool, or the Premium Bonds prize checker app, to see if you've won. If you're a winner, you can have the money paid into their bank account, or reinvest it into new Premium Bonds.
You should be emailed or sent a text message from NS&I if you win. Premium Bonds are held by around 22.7 million people.

Ryanair scraps flights from EU airport but adds new route from Scotland in major reshuffle
The carrier has consistently criticised countries for rising taxes and has bailed from one European airport while adding another route in Scotland Ryanair has pulled all of its flights from an EU airport amid its ongoing battle over rising aviation taxes. The budget carrier has also added new flights from Edinburgh Airport in a move one expert said was the airline showing two 'clear signals'. All flights from Maastricht Airport in the Netherlands are to be axed from October 26 as the company said it was one of Europe's 'most expensive' airports. Ryanair has criticised the airport's costs along with the country's rising aviation taxes and said both will 'irreparably damage Dutch connectivity'. But the low-cost carrier is also introducing twice weekly flights to Rzeszów in Poland from Edinburgh with fares reportedly as little as £15, reports the Mirror. Ryanair's decision to pull out of Maastricht Airport following the introduction of an eco-tax in 2021 which they are required to cover. The tax, of almost €30 per passenger, has been blamed for the airport's inability to recover its traffic since covid, says the airline. The slashing of Ryanair routes from the airport removes options for passenger to fly to Alicante, Bari, Girona, Porto, and Zadar. It means the loss of 150,000 seats per annum, as well as five direct connections. Ryanair's CCO Jason McGuinness said the airline was 'disappointed' with the decision, blaming Maastricht Airport for its 'soaring' taxes which have increased by 275 per cent in the last four years. He said: "Ryanair continues to grow traffic (this year from 200m to 206m) by offering unbeatable low fares to customers across Europe at airports that have low access costs. "Maastricht's sky-high costs are damaging its connectivity. [This is] evidenced by the Airport's failure to recover its traffic post-Covid, lagging far behind the rest of Europe at just 50 per cent of pre-Covid traffic in 2024 – a figure set to fall even further following Ryanair's exit." The airline has previously hit back at aviation taxes by pulling flights from an airport. And earlier this year it said it was cutting its summer traffic in Spain by 18 per cent meaning a loss of 800,000 seats and 12 routes to the popular holiday hotspot. Ryanair has also scrapped all flights to and from Aalborg, after Denmark confirmed a 50DKK (£5.57) fee, will be applied to all passengers departing from Denmark and will be paid for by airlines. The new flights to the lesser-known Polish city of Rzeszów means customers can take in it's stunning architecture, rich history, and acclaimed Christmas markets. Rzeszów is the largest city in southeastern Poland and dates back to the Middle Ages. For years, it's stayed out of the tourist limelight - overshadowed by the likes of Krakow and Warsaw - but the new flights may quickly change that. In a statement sent to the Mirror, Anton Radchenko, Aviation Expert & Founder of AirAdvisor, said Ryanair's route reshuffle sends two 'clear signals'. He said: "Regional airports in the UK are getting more love, while underperforming bases like Maastricht are being cut loose. "For UK passengers, this creates more direct options from places like Edinburgh, Aberdeen, and Norwich, but also leaves them exposed to short-notice route cancellations." Maastricht Airport has been approached for comment.

Sharm el Sheikh in Egypt was once one of the most popular holiday destinations for Brits, particularly through the 1990s. It remained popular until 2015, when a terror attack on a Russian passenger plane killed all 224 onboard. Flights from the UK were stopped for four years, with TUI reintroducing holiday packages in 2019. This was following the UK Foreign Office issuing new guidance which said Sharm el-Sheikh was considered safe after the airport security was overhauled and updated. However, just a few months later Covid hit, meaning the holiday resort once again saw tourist levels drop. TUI reintroduced the route again in summer 2022, and summer 2023 due to the rise in popular demand. In recent years, Egypt has been named the 'best value for money' destination, according to the Post Office Travel Money analysis. On average, meals and drinks are significantly cheaper than in the UK. One Travel Writer stayed at the Egypt resort with the country's largest water park.

BBC Antiques Roadshow expert warns about diamond bracelet once owned by Hollywood star
On Sunday's Antiques Roadshow, expert Geoffrey Munn was left open-mouthed when a guest revealed a dazzling diamond bracelet was once owned by Hollywood icon Rita Hayworth. Antiques Roadshow enthusiasts were recently delighted as an expert disclosed a "crucial" tidbit regarding a guest's diamond bracelet. Indicating its potential for a dramatic increase in value at the idyllic setting of Baddesley Clinton in Warwickshire. Jewellery expert Geoffrey Munn stumbled upon a stunning diamond bracelet that boasted a connection to the glitz of Hollywood. As he lauded the sparkling accessory, Munn joked: "Diamonds sparkling in the sunshine here, this is almost Hollywood sunshine, isn't it?". The owner's response alluded to its illustrious history: "It is indeed and that is exactly where this was bought." She divulged its cinematic heritage, stating: "It was bought in Hollywood Boulevard and the lady who had the antique and jewellery store would only open on Saturdays." To elaborate on the friendship as reported by the Mirror, she added: "We were introduced to her; I knew her until she died for about 24 years, and we actually used to stay with them in Miami. It's always handy to have a jeweller as a friend." The owner also mentioned her financial reasoning: "And I had inheritance so I thought I would put it into something tangible and also pretty and also probably a better investment than the bank." Munn amusingly retorted to the tale: "Your best friend, a girl's best friend, all these cliches are tumbling out onto the table!", enthused by the narrative. As they continued to discuss the bracelet's backstory, it was revealed that the item had been purchased for $23,000, which was around £13,500 at the time. However, it was the casual revelation of the bracelet's previous celebrity owner that truly stole the show: "But in fact it had belonged to Rita Hayworth", inspiring Munn to respond with delighted surprise: "Oh how marvellous! That's very good to know." The guest shared that the sumptuous bracelet was a present to Rita Hayworth, celebrated for her roles in 'Gilda' and 'The Lady From Shanghai', from her third spouse Aly Khan, who's father previously served as President of the Assembly of the League of Nations. In admiration, the guest spoke about the luminary: "She [Hayworth] was an amazing star and a real Hollywood A-lister. She acted alongside the crème de la crème of Hollywood at the time, such as Glenn Ford, Frank Sinatra, Orson Welles." The expert, Munn, recognised the ongoing adoration for the late actress, saying: "She was much adored and much loved." Reflecting upon the item, she commented: "But this is 1940s, American, fabulous Hollywood glitz." The current custodian, diligent in their research, has still not managed to find photographic evidence of Hayworth wearing the exquisite piece. Eagerly, Munn proposed: "Well I will send you home to look for those photographs and maybe even her will would be interesting too, wouldn't it? "And you must engage in a bit of open cast archaeology here, because establishing the provenance of these items is utterly pivotal. "Because they're heirlooms, their talismans, and when you can associate them with somebody famous, someone utterly glamorous in lifestyle and in looks, then this adds hugely to your investment in some regard but it's not only an investment because you love it, don't you?". While discussing the bracelet's value, the expert confessed he hadn't crunched the numbers for a precise valuation, but the guest hazarded a guess that it boasted roughly 54 carats worth of diamonds. Intrigue peaked during the appraisal as he said: "Well I'm not going to base my valuation on any of that sort of thing, because the idea of breaking this down -", which prompted her to whisper in horror: "It's sacrilege." Then came the moment of anticipation with his valuation: "But maybe if you go home and do your Rita Hayworth thing, find a photograph of her wearing it under the most spectacular circumstances with somebody famous, well then £80,000." The owner couldn't conceal her astonishment mixed with elation at such a remarkable estimate, bursting out: "That's good! That was really quite a buy!" Munn went on to hypothesise: "But if we can't find that and never do, then it's not so much fun. It might only be a mere £45,000." Even the prospect of the valuation dipping dramatically didn't dampen the owner's spirits, who jubilantly replied: "It's still good! It's still lovely! I'm delighted!".
