LUCKY winners in Wales have won a combined prize total of £1,685,000 in the latest Premium Bonds prize draw.

New research from QR Code generator website QRFY analysed the latest data from National Savings and Investment (NS&I) after the winners of the July Premium Bonds prize draw were announced. 126 winners in Wales were announced with four lucky people scooping up a big win of £100,000.

As well as the six-figure prize, six people in Wales won £50,000, 12 people won £25,000, and 33 people won £10,000. Of the 126 winners from Wales, the average holding amount of Premium Bonds was £41,424.

Marc Porcar, CEO of QR Code Generator said: “Hundreds of millions of pounds are distributed to Premium Bonds winners across the UK. With a huge variety in prize winnings, it's expected that there will be a natural curiosity across the UK on how 'lucky' their area really is. Despite recent cuts to the prize rate, they remain government-backed and tax-free, ensuring that the amount you win is the amount you get, and can make the top amounts even more life-changing, especially with the odds of winning big being so small.”

Prize draws are conducted every month and see prizes up to £1,000,000 given away. To find out if you have ever won a Premium Bonds prize, you will need to dig out your holder's information and head over to the prize checker.
