A woman is celebrating after winning the highest prize on the shortest investment in Premium Bond history.
The woman, who has not been named but lives in Hampshire, won a £1m jackpot prize on a bond she bought in June to become the scheme's 137th millionaire.
She was one of two people to win the jackpot after investing £5,000 out of a maximum possible investment of £30,000.
For the first time, National Savings and Investments gave away two £1m Premium Bond prizes in the same month.
Both winners are married women aged in their 50s, a NS&I spokeswoman said.
The second winner, from Bristol, has a total of £11,550 in Premium Bonds and bought her winning bond in November 1998.
