What鈥檚 it like to tell someone they鈥檙e a Premium Bonds millionaire?
It has now been 60 years since Premium Bonds were introduced in the UK. It is a government backed savings scheme where you can win cash prizes instead of interest.
There have been 350 millionaire winners over the years and more than 21 million customers hold over 拢63 billion worth of Premium Bonds.
If you鈥檙e lucky enough to win you will get a knock on the door from someone known as 鈥楢gent Millionaire,鈥 whose job it is to knock on doors and tell people they鈥檝e won a million pounds.
She told 5 live Drive that 鈥渆verybody鈥檚 very shocked,鈥 when they get a knock on the door.
鈥淚t鈥檚 lovely, it鈥檚 a really nice part of the job.鈥
鈥淚t鈥檚 a really unique job and it鈥檚 quite a privilege to be able to do it.鈥
