The full list of August’s high value winners can be found on NS&I’s website.
Winners have multiple options for what they can do with their prizes.
The prizes can be paid straight into a designated bank account.
Additionally, winners can choose to automatically reinvest their winnings and buy more bonds for future draws which will boost their chances of receiving higher prices.
Millionaire winners are usually visited by the “Agent Million” who would inform them of their fortune.
However, due to coronavirus this has had to be adapted.
Agent Million will not be knocking on doors any time soon but they will still be in touch with winners to let them know the good news, likely through phone calls.
Fortunately, coronavirus has not stopped premium bonds prize draws overall and people can take part with no limits in place.
