What are Premium Bonds?
Premium Bonds are a savings account you can put money into and take out whenever you want.
Any interest paid is then decided by a prize draw every month.
People buy £1 bonds which each have an equal chance of winning, so it’s better to buy more in order to have more of a chance of winning.
Winners are picked by a random number generating computer called Ernie (Electronic Random Number Indicator Equipment).
The prize money represents the amount that would be paid in interest if premium bonds were regular government bonds.
