Premium Bonds are held by around 22.7 million people. The latest results come after a new Freedom of Information (FOI) request obtained by AJ Bell revealed that nearly two-thirds of Premium Bond holders, equivalent to just under 14.4 million people, have never won a prize. Millions more £50 and £100 prizes have been dished out since 2022, and they now make up a larger proportion of winning prizes than the lowest £25 prize. Although the number of higher value prizes has also seen a jump, the vast majority of Premium Bond prizes were worth £100 or less in 2024. The FOI from AJ Bell shows there is £127.7billion sat in Premium Bonds, with the average overall holding coming in at £5,406. However, the average holding for the 5.1 million Premium Bond holders who won in the last 12 months sits at £23,397, with 80% of those winners winning more than once during that period.
