A pensioner has been given a Christmas to remember after discovering he had won on the Premium Bonds – 124 times.
Gerald Sargent, 80, of Swadlincote, Derbyshire England, had not any winnings for a decade when he phoned National Savings and Investments. It apologised for the 10-year delay in delivering his winnings of thousands of pounds and gave him an additional £2,000 to cover lost interest.
His prizes were among 960,000 unclaimed since the first Premium Bond draw in 1957. These winnings are worth £45m.
