COUNT yourself lucky if you live in Bolton!
According to newly-published figures Bolton came third in the North-west for bagging prizes over the past year.
Oldham and Lancaster are the top two towns in the North-west.
Two extra-lucky winners from the North-west even hit the £1 million jackpot.
The league table positions are worked out by comparing the number of prizes with the number of Bonds held in each town.
Across the UK, 23 million people own Premium Bonds worth a total of £26 billion, all of which are entered into each monthly draw with prizes ranging from £50 to the £1 million jackpot.
In the North-west, more than two million people hold Premium Bonds worth over £2 billion. However, almost 40,000 prizes worth over £2 million remain unclaimed.
If you want to check if you own a winning Bond, check the NS&I website at www.ns andi.com and enter your Premium Bond holder's number.
