Premium Bonds prize winners receive notifications of their winnings if they have registered their contact details. However, there are instances where customers relocate or forget to update their contact details with NS&I. This can lead to unclaimed prizes, especially for those who opt to receive their prizes via cheque rather than bank transfer. Original paper Bonds can be registered online or by calling the helpline on 08085 007 007. In Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, there are 63,780 prizes worth £2,104,350 that are yet to be claimed.

Not ‘given’ at all. Rather it is earned from an investment.
