How can you win £1 million with premium bonds?
Premium Bonds prize winners are picked out every month by NS&I's Electronic Random Number Indicator Equipment (ERNIE).
ERNIE generates numbers for 476.5 million tax-free prizes every month, with total winnings of £20.5 billion.
The people most likely to win with NS&I are those who already have a sizeable savings account.
Every pound in someone's NS&I account has a unique code, which is eligible for the draw on the first day of the month.
Someone with £50,000 in their savings would, therefore, have 50,000 different codes for ERNIE to choose from.
Naturally, those most likely to win a prize are those who already have a lot of money in their account.
Even then the odds are still low, however, as money expert Martin Lewis estimates they fall at roughly one in 43,215,118,377.
