As of December's draw, the premium bond prize fund rate will fall from 4.4% to 4.15%.
The odds of winning any prize will also worsen to 22,000 to 1, from the current rate 21,000 to 1. These are the worst odds since August 2023.
NS&I claims the cut is in response to tumbling rates across the savings market. An estimated £28m will be shaved off the total value of prizes, and the total number of prizes fall by almost 300,000.
There will still be two jackpot winners, but the number of prizes worth between £5,000 and £100,000 will drop by 209.
The total number of lower-value prizes worth between £50 and £1,000 will also fall by 284,000. However, £25 prizes – the lowest amount you can win – will be boosted by 10,866.
