People from across the county have come out as winners in the draw for April 2026, with plenty earning between £1,000 and £100,000.
However, this month, a Hampshire resident also claimed the biggest prize possible.
The Premium Bonds draw is run by National Savings and Investments (NS&I), with the winners being created randomly.
With that said, here are the bondholders from Hampshire named in this month’s draw.

How are Premium Bonds winners decided?
According to the NS&I website, they use a system called ERNIE (Electronic Random Number Indicator Equipment) to decide the winners.

It is “powered by quantum technology, which uses light” to help it produce enough random numbers for a monthly prize draw in around 20 minutes.
The website adds: “Using light, ERNIE 5 generates random numbers that are matched against eligible Bond numbers to determine the lucky winners.
“And because it’s random, every Bond number, whether it has 8, 9, 10 or 11 digits, has a separate and equal chance of winning a prize.”
