The odds of winning in November's Premium Bonds draw are determined by a random number generator, which ensures every bond has an equal chance of being selected.

In the UK, over 21 million people hold Premium Bonds, making it a popular savings option for many.

Each bond has a unique number, and to win, your bond number must match the winning numbers drawn in the November draw.

With a total prize fund of £1 billion, the odds of winning a prize in the November draw are 1 in 24,500,000.

The minimum prize is £25, which can be won with a single bond purchase.
