manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

The lucky winners of February's Premium Bond draw have been announced by National Savings & Investments (NS&I), with two people scooping a top prize of £1 million.

More than 80 bond holders have won the second top prize of £100,000, more than 150 people have scooped £50,000, and thousands more have won prizes of lower values.

Premium Bonds are a popular method of saving where instead of earning interest on your money, you are entered into a monthly prize draw.

Premium Bond holders are allowed to hold up to £50,000 in savings and the more they hold the more likely they are to win. The odds of a bond winning each month are 22,000 to 1 for every £1 bond.
