National Savings & Investments (NS&I) today launched an appeal for 898,000 Premium Bonds winners who have failed to claim their share of £44m in prizes to come forward.
The largest unclaimed prize is £100,000, won by a woman from London in February 2007, who owns just £25 worth of bonds.
The oldest unclaimed prize is £25 won by a man from South Yorkshire in 1957.
NS&I said that bond holders name and address changes made it difficult to track down the winners, and urged savers to contact NS&I in the event these details changed.
The savings provider has also launched an online service where customers can register to have prizes paid straight into their bank account to avoid missing wins.
