More than £50million in Premium Bond prizes has been left unclaimed
A VAST fortune of unclaimed Premium Bond prizes stands at more than £50 million.
Four holders have won £100,000 but not come forward, including women in London in 2007 and Manchester in 2010.
More than a million winners are currently missing out.
Unclaimed wins also include several prizes for £50,000, £25,000 and £10,000, although most are for £50 and £25.
A spokesman said: "Prizes often become unclaimed as a result of people moving house or forgetting that bonds have been bought for them as a child."
There are two ways to check whether you are a winner in the monthly draw.
If you are registered with NS&I online then it will inform you via email as to whether you have been successful.
Alternatively if you are not registered online, a letter will be sent to your home address.
The money can either be paid directly into your account or you can chose to reinvest it in bonds.
With Premium Bonds celebrating their milestone 60th anniversary in November 2016, NS&I is encouraging Premium Bond holders to reconnect with their old Bonds, some of which date back to over 50 years.
