How to check Premium Bonds online

Last reviewed: July 2026

Short answer

Use your Premium Bonds holder's number in a prize checker. NS&I's official checker covers the latest draw, the previous six draws and older unclaimed prizes. This independent tool is useful for checking several holder's numbers against the latest published draw while keeping those numbers on your device.

1. Find the right number

You need the Premium Bonds holder's number, not an individual Bond number. NS&I says a holder's number has 9 or 10 digits, or 8 digits followed by a letter. You can find it on your Bond record or by signing in to your NS&I account.

2. Choose the check you need

3. Confirm any result with NS&I

An independent check is a convenience, not proof of payment. Always confirm a possible win with NS&I before acting on it. If you cannot find your holder's number, do not try to search publicly by name. Use the official account, replacement Bond record or tracing route instead.
