The first Premium Bonds millionaire is from Southampton, holding the maximum £50,000 allowed in the popular NS&I product.
Their winning bond number – 352QK018542 – was purchased in February 2019, just over five years ago.
Meanwhile, the second million-pound winner is from Surrey, with their bond number 294DL518203 being selected. They bought the winning number in January 2017, and also held a total of £50,000.
There were more than 5.9 million prizes ranging from £25 to £1m in June’s draw, with a total payout worth £455m. There were 124.1 billion bond numbers eligible for the draw, with the odds of any £1 bond number winning a prize at 21,000 to one.
While the million-pound jackpot winners find out on the first working day of the month, for everyone else, you’ll need to wait until Tuesday 4 June. You can check the NS&I website, the prize checker app, or ask ‘Alexa’.

However, you can get a sneak peek of the June winners, and this shows there were a total of 87 bond holders who each scooped the second-tier win of £100,000.
In one case, a holder from Berkshire with just £300 bought in August 1998 has won £100,000, while another saver from West Yorkshire has won the coveted prize with just £700, bought in November 2023.
There are also 174 people who each won £50,000 and 348 who have won £25,000.
All Premium Bonds prizes are free of UK income tax and capital gains tax.
Premium Bonds prize winners receive notifications of their winnings if they have registered their contact details. However, there are instances where customers relocate or forget to update their contact details with NS&I. This can lead to unclaimed prizes, especially for those who opt to receive their prizes via cheque rather than bank transfer.
Currently there are 2,399,977 unclaimed prizes worth £83,367,525 waiting to be claimed.
