Premium Bonds are celebrating their 60th anniversary this week, but the question is whether you'll be celebrating along with them - as Ernie the random number generator has made its 350th Premium Bonds Millionaire.

The lucky winner is from Bristol: he bought his winning bond just over 20 years ago - in October 1996 with the number 64ST558712. He has the maximum £50,000 invested.

The 349th millionaire was a man from Norwich, the first time ever that the city has celebrated a Premium Bonds jackpot win. The man has £25,100 invested in Premium Bonds and bought the winning Bond (196XC935430) in September 2012.

In total ERNIE paid out over 2.1 million prizes of more than £66.7 million in value. This brings the grand total of prizes won since the first draw in July 1957 to 355 million and the value of those prizes to £17 billion.
