The full list of prize winners is made available the following day, on Wednesday 2 June 2021.

A NS&I representative will visit the two £1 million winners at their homes the day before the first working day of the month and before the rest of the winners are announced.
If this doesn’t happen then the quickest and easiest way to find out if you’ve won a prize is to use the NS&I prize checker - an online tool which will show you this month’s prizes.

Use the checker by simply entering your unique holder’s number into the tool.
You can find your holder’s number on your Bond record by logging into the NS&I online service. The number will have either 10 or nine digits, or eight digits followed by a letter.

For any higher value winnings of £5,000 or more NS&I will need to check with you first by sending a claim form in the post for you to complete and confirm how you would like to be paid.
