The NS&I Premium Bonds have become an increasingly popular form of investment in recent years, with over 25 million people in the UK holding Premium Bonds. This popularity can be attributed to the fact that the investment is relatively low-risk, as the bonds are backed by the UK government, and the chance to win large prizes can be very enticing.
The NS&I Premium Bonds have been around since 1956, and their popularity has only continued to grow over the years. In addition to the monthly prize draw, the bonds also offer the chance to win additional prizes through special draws held throughout the year.
