This month, the two £1m jackpot prizes were won by premium bond holders in Essex and Hertfordshire.
The Essex winner is a woman who currently has the maximum holding of £50,000 saved. Her winning bond number (293GZ540034) was purchased in January 2017, and this win makes her the 17th jackpot winner in Essex.
A man in Hertfordshire held the second winning bond (239CV516628). His total holding was worth £40,000, and he bought the lucky bond back in January 2015. He’s the 13th premium bonds millionaire to come from Hertfordshire.
There were 3,527,794 prizes given out in the March draw, worth £100,836,075. However, 3,519,499 of these prizes were worth £100 or less.
This is the final prize draw before the NS&I is due to cut the number of prizes up for grabs, reducing the odds of winning from 24,500 to 1, to 26,000 to 1.
