Unclaimed Premium Bonds prizes
Across the UK there are over 1 million unclaimed Premium Bonds prizes worth more than £46 million. In Kent in particular there are over 24,000 prizes worth more than £1,128,000 that still remain unclaimed. There is a woman from the region who is still due to receive £50,000 after failing to claim her prize in a previous draw. She has just £128 invested in Premium Bonds and the prize was won in November 2007.
There are a number of other unclaimed prizes due to the residents of Kent, the oldest of these outstanding prizes having been drawn in April 1959. There is no time limit for claiming prizes, and Premium Bonds holders can reduce the chances of their prizes becoming unclaimed by managing their Premium Bonds online or opting to have any prizes paid directly into their bank accounts by BACS, with notification by email.

Premium Bond facts
Since the first Premium Bonds prize draw in 1957, over 290 million tax–free prizes worth approximately £15 billion have been paid out.
Premium Bonds are an investment where, instead of interest payments, investors have the chance to win tax-free prizes. They were officially launched by Harold Macmillan, Chancellor of the Exchequer, in his 1956 Budget.
Savers can invest in Premium Bonds directly from NS&I by post, phone, online at nsandi.com or standing order, or by cheque and debit card at the Post Office.
Premium Bonds offer investors 100% capital security, backed by HM Treasury, making them a risk-free investment with the added excitement of potentially winning tax-free prizes ranging from £25 to £1 million.
