Five Suffolk residents are thanking their lucky stars after winning £50,000 in April's premium bonds prize draw.

The winning bonds were purchased in December 2012, January 2019, August 2020, January 2023 and May 2016.

The draw did not reveal the locations of the winners.

A further eight Suffolk residents picked up £25,000 prizes and 12 more received £10,000 each.

In October, someone from Suffolk was named as one of two people to hit the jackpot and win the £1million prize.

Premium Bonds are an investment product issued by National Savings and Investment.

Unlike other investments, where investors earn interest or a regular dividend income, bonds are entered into a monthly prize draw where people can win between £25 and £1m tax free.

Premium Bonds are available by investing at least £25.

Last month, two Suffolk residents won £50,000 each.

In February, two more winners scooped £100,000 prizes.
